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

Yes. Although I really bloody shouldn’t.

Not right away, but I often have a KitKat or a penguin bar or something an hour or two later.

Growing up we had a pudding every night, rice pudding or something with custard.
Now, I rarely have pudding. DH has a yoghurt but I don't bother.

I had an uncle who lived to 96 eating only deserts like Butterscotch angel delight. He refused dinner.

Towards the end of his life you could practically see through him.

Yes we have pudding or some sort every evening. I wouldn't personally but dh and the DC love it and couldn't go without it. Sometimes it's just Greek yoghurt and honey, or a biscuit if there is nothing, but it's mostly a home made cake of some sort. Made by any of us.

We're all slim and all do lots of physical activity so I don't see any harm in it. Don't have anything sweet at lunchtime though.

Always something sweet or a pudding, yes. I’ve a major sweet tooth so “have to!

I rarely eat "dessert." I do often have sweets on their own during the day, though.

Always a pudding after lunch and evening meal: fruit and/ or yoghurt.

Like the sound of the 96 year old butterscotch Angel Delight eater. I had a great grandma who got by for years on little more than sugar puffs, tea and Guinness.

Always. I don't feel as if dinner is finished without it, although the specifics vary according to tiredness/energy and the time of year.

Butterscotch Angel Delight is a good shout @graceinspace999 😊

I prefer savoury foods so fill up on those. Rarely have dessert after a meal out either - I'd rather have a starter. I have fruit with breakfast,

We always have pudding - cake, rice pudding, ice cream, pie/crumble & custard, chocolate bar, every evening after dinner and if we eat out.

I wish I could, I'm always too full after the main meal. Quite often though I have a cake for lunch. DP has an ice cream every single night. Christmas I love. I have cake for breakfast. Anything goes at Christmas.

Never, but I’m a terrible snacker so might have a handful of olives/nuts later or some grapes/bits of protein bar.

I don't, but I might have something during the day instead. I look longingly at the dessert menus in restaurants and then am always full after the meal, so I don't get one.

Very rarely, maybe in a Sunday. Not something we have ever done really.

We always have pudding.
Child has a yoghurt.
I normally have some chocolate or biscuits. Occasionally a sponge pudding or cake.
I have a big sweet tooth though.

Sometimes I go beserk and have a bit of a sweety treaty to keep me going if the usually quite late evening meal is taking too long to cook, thus,

Ruining my appetite!
Filling up on junk!

Or, as I like to see it, replenishing with quickly absorbable glucose to help me towards the final sprint at the end of a long day.

Other people say, "She's had backwards dinner again."

I wasnt bought up with pudding or afters, but if I was going to have an afters it wouldnt be something like yoghurt or fruit

I would rather go without than have that as a pudding. We dont really do pudding here, Im more likely to go hunting around the kitchen for other snacks like crisps, cheese and biscuits or nuts. We do eat a lot of dried fruit though

If anything something like 0% fat yogurt, honey and raspberries/blueberries

We always have some chocolate or something. Actual desserts for special occasions (or after a roast! Special occasion for us, we hardly ever have time!)

Dark chocolate biscuit or brownie. The dark chocolate is magnesium rich so helps relaxation, the sugar is glucose and glucose helps pass all the minerals from your meal through the digestive tract into the cells and the blood, which will also create relaxation.
Yes there is a scientific reason for pudding! 😀

Always have a dessert. Might be ice cream, yoghurt, chocolate etc. Proper crumbles etc at the weekend.

Only ever on Sundays or high days (Christmas, family meals), i’d be fat as fuck If we had puddings every day.

What no. I'd assume only posh people did it
