To think cheese and biscuits is more of a lunch thing rather than dessert !

[Lardlizard]

Who wants to eat a Sunday roast then eat cheese and biscuits

Give me something choclately Any day !!

I'll give you my dessert if I can have your cheese?

At some point in the evening after Christmas often before new year, DH and I will watch a film, light a fire , make a huge cheese board from all the left over and gifted cheeses, chutneys, grapes, olives, paté, maybe some smoked salmon, a good selection of fancy crackers and drink the left over champagne and port. It's one of my favourite bits.

YABU. Who doesn't love a cheeseboard?

People who don't appreciate a good cheeseboard must have had awful childhoods.

I really don’t like sweet stuff so always choose cheese and biscuits.

I’d order a starter for pudding if I could. My local pub did make me duck hoisin bao buns as a pudding once - they were lush!

It’s never a pudding. It’s cheese.
Usually before pudding in France or after pudding in U.K.
lots of people forego pudding for cheese - my husband included.

I do love a cheeseboard
But for lunch !!

I'd have a cheeseboard rather than the roast dinner. And always rather than the dessert course.

Last time I was in Paris I ate at a café offering a shared cheese platter as a starter. They kindly agreed to serve it to me alone as a main - enough cheese to sink you into a dairy coma.

It was my best day.

YABU. I never want sweet stuff when I'm already feeling full but I always have space for cheese.

An ex of mine disliked sweet desserts to the degree that if there wasn't cheese on the dessert menu he'd order another starter while everyone else had desserts

You’d love the Off Menu podcast.

Some people just prefer savoury food for dessert as they don’t have a sweet tooth. There’s a wide variety of cheese so some are probably more dessert-appropriate than say, mild cheddar. Wine and cheese pair well so could be just intended to be a light (in terms of food) but boozy course.

I'm not a great pudding eater, and neither is DH so we often share cheese and biscuits after a meal out if we fancy something, usually accompanied by a port or two.

I do make an exception for bread and butter pudding though......

I sometimes just fancy a starter and dessert without a 'main ' but I never do as I think it might sound a bit odd : although I'm sure the waiter or waitress wouldn't care at all to be fair!

It’s a traditional element of a proper “dinner”. Lots of restaurants offer a “savoury” or cheese and biscuits instead of (or as well as) pudding. DH often prefers it.

You don’t eat the biscuits - well, maybe one or two. Confine yourself to some slivers of cheese! Eschew pudding.

My DH is type 1 diabetic so desserts are out. Cheese and biscuits ARE a dessert especially for him.

Absolutely love cheese and often have cheese and biscuits for lunch along with some fruit. Grapes or pears are what I prefer. I have sometimes been tempted to order the cheeseboard instead of dessert but as of yet haven't succumbed. A glass of port along with it would be even nicer.

Just remembered a cafe which is closed now sadly used to have on its menu a cheese and cold meat platter which came with bread and chutney. It was for two people and was totally scrumptious.

I've never been to Castle Terrace, I've been to the Scran and Scallie, and the Kitchin 10 times, last time was for my 40th, I got a card on the table, all of the staff wished me Happy birthday, I was brought a special dessert with a candle in and we were invited into the kitchen to watch the staff work and meet the man himself.
They have also knew it was my birthday as opposed to my friend's, we have the same name!
As soon as its safe for me we're going back for said friend's 40th and I can't wait!

I love cheese.
Christmas cale and wensleydale go nicely together.

One of my favourites at Christmas.

I really couldn't deal with my ex's gut explosion of epic proportions every time we doubled up on cheese and dessert. The house needed fumigating for days and my nostrils never recovered.
