Would you expect another evening meal after a 4pm pub roast?

[Dinnerargument]

If you had a pub roast dinner at 4pm; would you expect to have a dinner that evening?

Please settle an argument with my DH…

Yes, I’d be hungry again by 8pm
ETA, I wouldn’t need a full meal but definitely a sandwich or cheese on toast etc

But soup and sandwich would be fine.

Not a cooked meal just like a sandwich or something quick yes most people would get hungry after 4pm meal it’s very early for dinner

A little something later on would be great. Cheese and biscuits, toast, whatevers in the fridge....

No but I might want a bowl of cereal or toast later in the evening

I wouldn’t really go for a big meal at 4 as I would have had lunch at 1/2. I guess how hungry I’d be later depends on what else I’d eaten all day. I quite possibly would be hungry at 9!

Yes.

Yes, of course! Otherwise you would be missing a meal which is bad! A quick trip along to the chippy or something similar would sort out the issue

No! Greedy goose!

@C152

why not just go to bed?

What do you think will happen if you don't eat anything else that day after the pub roast when you've already eaten more calories than you've burnt that day and/or you're not actually hungry?

No

No.

I had the same argument with my partner - we got home around 6.30pm - about 1.5 hours after we finished a big Sunday dinner and he said “what do you want for dinner”! I said that we'd had dinner earlier so now we would have a snack/lunch food like a sandwich and he had a proper moan and he ended up cooking a big dinner.

Definitely not a meal but I would like some supper

No I don’t even expect one after a 12pm big roast

Maybe some kind of supper. If he was very hungry. Decent size cheese and salad sandwich.

Our family usually makes a sandwich or something around 9pm

Because most people cant sleep if they are hungry.

Why go to bed hungry? It's not conducive to sleep.

Hell no! A sandwich at the most late evening

Yes, circa 8pm along the lines of a sandwich

No I couldn’t manage a meal maybe a light snack

I’d probably make myself a light snack later on but that’s because I can’t eat big helpings of food (I eat a lot that’s not weird food competitive thing vis a vis the other thread)!

You're absolutely right. Everyone knows it's "boils my piss".
