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 but not another big meal. I'd have cheese.

@Laiste sometimes yes, sometimes no.

as a vegetarian there wouldn't be mych
protein in that meal, so possibly, but vegetsrian low carbing is pretty difficult to eat a non meal, type thing. No bread, crackers, crumpets etc.

so probably some nuts/cheese/olives.

most days I only eat once though so time wise not a big deal.

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 😄

We usually have cheese and crackers or pate on toast, crumpets type things after a roast if it was earlyish.

Yes, a sandwich or toast.

And??

Not it's not

Leftover roast potatoes? That’s a new one on me. I’ve never known there to be any left.

But that’s what the leftover Yorkshire puddings are for!

Fair enough Laiste — I'd end up with a migraine if I did that; can't do with the snake/alligator style of eating, I'm more of an antelope or a cow 😅 I much prefer to eat a bit less at the big meal and have another, small meal, whichever way round that happens to be — though what I'm thinking of as a small meal, other posters are calling a snack, like sandwiches or eggs on toast.

I’d probably have a snack for supper like some
cheese on toast

It's not with the roast. It's after the roast. To mop up the gravy with.

Missed the bit about bread. I have never heard of having bread with a roast either and it would probably be quite filling, but wouldn’t change my answer, I would still want something else to eat before the end of the day.

Yes - not a proper meal as such but maybe a slice of toast / couple of crumpets or cereal.

Yeah definitely! But I wouldn't describe myself as a dainty eater. I'd not feel like cooking again so probably something like the cheese/crackers/olives or a sandwich, or soup as others have mentioned.

Even if I'd totally stuffed myself I genuinely don't think I could go all the way through to the next day without eating again. That'd be what, 16-18 hours with no food? I train at the gym or run most mornings, I'd not manage that on no food from 2pm the day before 😂😂

I’d want a bit of toast or something in the evening

@Bluekerfuffle

that might be what you normally do but if you have a particularly calorific, filling meal at 2pm you don’t need a proper dinner later on

I'd want cheese and crackers at about 8.30pm.

No way would I be cooking again. Our roasts are usually bigger than other meals so I'd be having tea and biscuits at about 8, but couldn't eat another dinner as such. Kids would have cereal or something probably as they are older teens and sort themselves out.

I’m in the ‘id want some crackers’ or something else small.

the bread thing sounds different- don’t think I could face a slice of bread after a roast. Id rather have another Yorkshire or potato.

Yes, that’s why I said if I had a big lunch (what I would normally have for dinner), I would have a small dinner (or supper).

We would eat a cheeseboard later on in the evening after a late lunchtime roast. Maybe, but more rarely, also a pudding. It's like the second course of the meal, but delayed for a good few hours after the main course.

I'd definitely want a light meal, in the evening, but then I wouldn't blow out on the carbs with the lunch as I simply wouldn't fancy it, at that time of day.

Eveyone saying they would want cheese and crackers later like it’s something tiny…
cheese is soooooo calorific! Why not a salad or tin of sardines!

Sorry OP I cannot get past the bread thing after a roast dinner...😱
