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.

At best I might want a biscuit and a brew. My teenage son with hollow legs would probably still expect something.

I ate a huge pub roast (much bigger than I'd cook at home) at 3pm, won't eat again today.
Usually after an earlier or smaller roast we'd have something small for dinner such as a salad.

No....but bread with a roast lunch ? 😀😀

Growing up we always ate around. 2/3 and that was the last meal so to speak, I’d just have a snack if peckish so yanbu in my book.

I'd probably have something else. Something like crisps, toast or a fried egg sandwich. Not a proper meal.

Why? Billions of people worldwide eat three meals a day. Surely if you’ve had a big meal at lunchtime, you have a light meal in the evening - just as people typically eat a light lunch if they're planning a big evening meal?

2pm isn’t that much later than a normal lunchtime. Therefore, I’d want a light tea type meal.

If I didn’t have the roast until 3.30/4 as some people do, it would probably be enough….but not sure I’d make it from breakfast without something beforehand.

On Christmas Day, I often don’t feel like another meal after the big Christmas lunch. That’s usually about 2 ish in our house. Perhaps there’s a bit more snacking going on.

What’s the difficult part of the question? It’s hardly up there with “Is there a heaven?”

Probably a sandwich or sometimes I get sugar cravings and my body seems to know the difference between a sugar or chocolate juicing so to speak, and a sandwich etc.

Always a cuppa before bed, and in morning

I had a huge pub roast today and thought I wouldn't want to eat again - I'm feeling a bit peckish now!

🤭

Yup that would be lunch and I’d want the 2nd of my 3 meals a day later on

Sorry 3rd

We had the same at 3pm and I won’t eat again, the children had dippy eggs for supper at 6 before bath but mainly because they’re little.

also came on to say that bread has absolutely no business being anywhere near a roast lunch, pack it in!

Yes I would. Nothing huge maybe cheese and crackers.
On Sundays we do one big meal at 4pm. Before and after it’s up to everyone in the house to sort themselves out if they’re hungry.
We started doing this when youngest was 14 ish.

So eating at 4pm. Mine will be in the kitchen by 8pm doing themselves something.

I don’t stuff myself during any meal, including a roast so I would but I’d probably keep aside leftovers to have cold for supper.

Yes I'd be having a usual full dinner about 7pm, why wouldn't I?

Yes. A small light dinner, say a toasted sandwich.

Omg - me and my dad used to do the bread and gravy thing! Not done that for years and now I’ve got a craving for it! 😂

What’s the bread and gravy thing ?

it’s mumsnet,multiple posters will emphatically say no they’d not eat again . Just Tap water & dry crackers

in regular life, if you had a dinner at 2pm you’d eat again 7ish. Given it’s 5 hour after dinner.

mumsnet life,there will be selection of little non filling snacks such as crackers, a slither of lean meat or a morsel of something low starch

Of course. Theres not many times when I don't want to eat.

I don't have breakfast (never have(, so I never go to bed without some sort or dinner, even if it is a snack. Maybe cheese and crackers or a small sandwich. This scenario happens to us fairly regularly and we end up having for dinner what we would normally have fir lunch. So soup and a sandwich type of food.

I had a small bag of MiniEggs tonight after a huge lunch.

Wish I hadn't now...

We had exactly that, kids and DH had a bowl of cereal at about 6.
im about to have some biscuits with my cuppa.
