To wonder if everyone has pudding/dessert after their main evening meal?

[sweeneytoddsrazor]

Whenever meal threads come up it seems the majority of MN have something after their main meal even if its just fruit or yoghurt. I usually have fruit or yoghurt as part of my lunchtime meal and evenings are just the one course. Am I in the minority? Obviously if I want anything later as a snack I do so but it's certainly not routine.

YABU you always have something after your main meal

YANBU you never/rarely have something after your main meal

I rarely have room for pudding - bit of a lightweight! Even when we go out, I hardly ever have more than one course.

Always a bit of chocolate.

I always have desert, just a portion of tinned fruit....I like ending my meal with something sweet.
It was apricots tonight!😀

I have a boiled sweet. I always want something sweet after my meal.

My kids get offered fruit or yoghurt! I think that’s pretty normal so maybe why you’re seeing it mentioned a lot on here, although I don’t personally know of any adults that would have it too- it’s very much a kid’s thing and a chance to pack in some extra calories before bed if they were fussy and didn’t eat much of the main meal.

I do often eat a bar square of dark chocolate once they’re in bed though!

No, we never really do.

I don't think I've had a pudding after dinner since primary school 😂

Never. I rarely order dessert either. I'd rather have a cheeseboard!

Also, I don't really consider fruit as a pudding/dessert.

Although if it's tinned I do, so come to think of it, I'm weird 😳

Never but I might eat a kit kat or something later on

I don’t but my husband has a pudding most evenings usually crumble , sponge pudding of some sort , mince pie ( if I’ve been to Costco ) or rice pudding .

It varies depending on what we've had or just if I'm hungrier than usual. It's rarely more than fruit or yoghurt, same as the kids. Although I am quite partial to a mini chocolate bar a few times a week.

I don’t have pudding after dinner. Sometimes when I’m out for dinner but never at home.

No.
Desserts are for special days entertaining friends and growing grandchildren.
Waste of calories and time and extra washing up, otherwise.

I make a hot pudding maybe twice a week for my DD, usually a sponge pudding in the microwave with custard, rice pudding or this week I made some peanut butter cookies. I eat it with her sometimes but mostly its for her.

DP always has a bowl of fruit and cream for pudding.

No, we've never routinely done fruit/yogurt/dessert even when ds was small

Maybe ...once a week?
We had crumble the other day.

Very rarely. Occasionally when eating out, as I normally prefer to have a starter and then i am too full. Or if having friends round for Sunday lunch when they bring something, or I make something like a crumble. For a normal dinner at home, practically never. Though we sometimes have a bag of mini mars bars/snickers in the cupboard and I might have one of them later on.

I have fruit and greek yoghurt for breakfast. I would never fancy that after dinner.

Restaurant - yes if there is sticky toffee pudding on the menu
Home - yes if I have had a good workout that day I will have like a lime posset or rhubarb fool
No - if I don't workout however I will have a kaffir or protein yogurt for something sweet.

We have a pudding every night after dinner! I’m a size 8, and my husband and children are slim as well, so it doesn’t seem to have a negative impact. And it makes us happy. 🙂

Some nights I only have pudding 😂

We always have desert, normally just an ice cream or a solero type thing.

I did until August 2020. Have dropped 5kg & kept it off by avoiding puddings, I only eat them if we’re out or have guests now. I miss them.

Not as a general rule, puds are usually only on special occasions. Got nothing against them, but I am usually full enough after my main meal.
