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.

Yes, something light like soup and a roll perhaps.

Yup, and I would, too.

So your roast is the same size/filling level as your bowl of soup?

I often don’t get hungry again if I’ve had a huge meal, my kids would though 😆 so I’d make them sandwiches with the leftover meat and have one myself with a tea.

I would always want to eat again, regardless of what I had. My appetite is more linked to how long it's been since I last ate, than how much or what I ate.

I'd probably just have something like a sandwich though.

Yes, a sarnie or some soup of something.
(…maybe that’s why I’m not teeny tiny)

My roast dinners are huge, I would definitely not eat again but we usually have ours at 15:00.

Yeah, I'd eat.

I went out for dinner last Sunday at a similar time, so made sure I had some nice bread and pate in for an evening meal.

Yes of course! We had lunch at 2pm, chilli and rice. Now doing roast for 7pm.

Yes, probably a sandwich or some toast

Yes I’d eat again, but I wouldn’t have all that for lunch - especially the bread, never heard of having bread with a roast dinner.

No. I wouldn’t eat again after a roast.

My hungry teens would probably want something small - toast, cereal etc - before bed, though.

I'd want to eat, and I would eat. Otherwise you're potentially going, what, 18 hours without eating - for me that's too long.

The teeny tinies will be on saying they wouldn't eat for a week after a roast, and that anyone who would is grotesque and the reason the NHS is in a state. But they can fuck off.

I only eat a normal portion when I have a roast. But it's my fav meal, so I might have a second mini one using leftovers for supper although probably without meat because don't like meat very much anyone.
('Im 'normal' weight).

I did eat a big roast at 2pm. I am about to set off home and will probably have a couple of crumpets or some crackers and cheese about 7.30pm.

We always have our main main around 1.30 on a Sunday and always have something about 7pm .. I cannot believe people don’t need something after that time

I'd be full all day off that but I'm recovering from an eating disorder so I'm aware most wouldnt feel like that

My 6 year old and 8 year old would definetly be hungry later on in the evening though

Yes, I’d probably have a snack, toast or something. That’s why we tend to have a roast at around 4ish, to avoid the 7-8pm hunger. I’m a normal weight for my height (BMI 21), not dieting or planning to.

I would have a snack.

Yes, bizarre. Who has bread with a roast? What kind of bread?

bread to dip

Eh? You serve bread with a massive roast dinner???

My hungry teens would probably want something small - toast, cereal etc - before bed, though.

Most hungry teens would have toast and cereal and probably more toast before bed to be fair so yours don't sound particularly hungry.

Definitely would want something - probably the equivalent of a light lunch around 8ish. Cheese on toast, a sandwich, something along those lines.

I don't know why a roast is so much bigger than a normal main meal - surely there's only so much food you can eat at once? The same size of plateful of food whether it's curry, dal and rice, fish and chips or roast dinner, I'd have thought.

Really?
At the end of dinner - slice of white bread plonked onto plate and a bit more gravy poured on and spread around and press it to soak it up and ... yum 😄

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if/what I'd had for breakfast, what activity I'd done either before or after, just how I was feeling that day generally. I certainly don't think it would be greedy or overeating to have maybe toast, crumpets, mug of soup or something. And it also wouldn't be 'competitive undereating' if I decided I'd had enough for the day.
