You've had a roast dinner at 2pm. Would you want to eat again before bed?

[Laiste]

Big roast with all the trimmings - pork with crackling, 3 veg, Yorkshire puds, stuffing, gravy, bread to dip ect.

Would you want anything before bed, apart from a cup or tea or two?

YABU - yes i'd want/need to eat again.
YANBU - nope, that would do me for the rest of the day.

I love doing that especially with a crusty loaf and have some chicken stuffed and gravy on a sandwich mmm.😋

Maybe a sandwich

I’d probably enjoy some cheese and biscuits or similar around 8pm

perhaps a sandwich but def not a “meal”

Also poor background, Yorkshire and bread after for the gravy. Although I like to put extra black pepper on it too. When I was little we used to have bread and dripping later on if we had beef or bananas and custard - which turns my stomach.

That poster acts like this on lots of thread. Sometimes she says she has children, other time’s she says she doesn’t have any. She’s very odd to anyone she sees as too motherly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cheese, crackers,an apple. Perfect supper

No not just a London thing.
Definitely common in South Wales if the gravy is particularly delicious.
In Yorkshire we would fight over any leftover Yorkshire pudding (if you can believe there is such a thing)
Bread and gravy is so amazing, you should all try it if you make good gravy.

I was planning to make a cottage pie to have for Sunday dinner but my washing machine decided to break down and we discovered it had been leaking.
Then after walking the dog I accidentally kicked the plug on our posh mop bucket and all the mopped up water made a second appearance.

I have been banished to the living room and we are having pizza!!

Starting at 2pm, or finishing at 2pm?

I've got a small appetite compared to most people I know. Doesn't match my weight, because I eat a lot of rubbish, but never mind.

Roast dinner finishing at 2pm I'd probably have a snack meal about 7pm. Something like cheese on toast.
Starting at 2pm, probably have something lighter, yoghurt, or few nuts or something.

But I'd still need something to eat. I'm amazed at the number of people here saying they wouldn't need to eat again, because in RL most people I know would have at least a light meal in the evening unless they were dieting.

A bowl of cereal is our go-to on a Sunday after a big meal at my mum's at lunch

Yes, I'd definitely eat again.

Something like toast, crumpets, crisps and dip or a dessert - some cake, ice-cream, waffles etc.

No. Maybe a cracker tea but nothing more

We had ours at 1pm and I'm currently scoffing my way through last nights homemade pizza leftovers. No way I could last from afternoon until next morning

Yes, but this is why I don’t eat at lunchtime. I can happily go until 7pm without eating anything, but I have to eat in the evenings.

It's interesting some posters asking if people are eating later "because they should" rather than because they are hungry.

In contrast some people might not eat because they feel they shouldn't? Several posters have said they wouldn't but their partner/DH/DC/teens etc would....

I used to have an ED and was hungry nearly all the time. Now I don't have an ED ....but I still get hungry pretty often. and then eat more and more frequently!

Of course. I’m not a big eater and only weigh 6 stone but I still need 3 meals a day.

This blows my mind though - 3 meals a day and weighing 6 stone?? What do these meals consist of?

I have one proper meal a day and a snack of fruit/yoghurt/slices of ham at lunchtime and I weigh over 10 stone! The Sunday lunch would probably be all I’d eat all day, maybe some fruit later on.

I’m old fashioned. We have a family roast dinner every Sunday around 1pm, and then either cold meat with salad and bread and butter, or sandwiches from the roast, and coffee later on, around 7pm. Think I inherited it from my Gran.

No but I find a roast really filling and bloating much more than other meals.

We have just finished ours. I don’t think I’ll need to eat before bedtime.

I’d prefer not to eat at 2pm as its likely I would need a little something later (perhaps a yogurt or a crumpet, or hot crossed bun). But it would also be too close to bed time for my liking.

I like a roast at 1pm but I don't overeat. We visit the roast again for dinner later around 6 or 7pm. I don't like overstuffing myself in one meal it's very uncomfortable. Something else we might do is save the pudding for the evening instead of having it straight after lunch.

If going to the pub and I know I won't have the leftovers, I'd rather have the roast around 4 or 5 pm and eat slowly finishing about 6pm and then I wouldn't have anything else after. On days like this I would have a light lunch and breakfst to make room to eat more as it costs so much and they give you so much.

If I had coffee at 7pm I’d be awake until 5am! I can’t have caffeine past around 10am.

We don’t have very large roasts as we are all fussy eaters it’s usually only one or two types of veg, a few spuds, the meat and Yorkshire puds so we’d most probably have something small later on in the evening like a sandwich using any left over meat.

Neither DH or I would need to eat again.

Maybe I’m being pedantic but I don’t understand replies like this. The OP asked if people would eat something else that day and a lot of the replies have said no, but then gone on to list the food they would eat…

Having a main meal around the middle part of the day seems to rev up my metabolism, so I get peckish about 6.00.
