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…

No, but both my young adult DS would! They would see a 4pm as roast and eat again about 9pm.

And yet the phrase 'boils my blood' is acceptable?!

Yep 😂

Cheese and biscuits about 8:30!

No. Might have a few crisps or a slice of toast, but nothing substantial.
My teen on the other hand...

No absolutely not. If anyone was hungry like 8/9 pm or whatever, they can either make their own or have toast etc. I couldn’t personally eat again after that but that’s not far off our normal dinner time (5.30/6)

I actually stopped doing Sunday dinner or big occasions at lunchtime for this reason . I felt everyone wanting feeding again at “dinner time “. Like we’ve celebrated Easter with dinner at 5 where everyone I know would do 2/3 ish. That’s a nothing time to me and creating more work.

No, I wouldn't.

God no. Ours was at 2 and I'm still stuffed

Nope

Madness.

But not 'swivel eyed madness' because that's almost as bad as 'boils my blood'.

Of course not. If hunger did strike later on it would be some toast or something quick and easy for the hungry individual to prepare.

Jeez no! Tell him to grab a piece of fruit or something.

Not a meal but probably a small supper. I would want something before bed

I expect people to be grown ups and decide if they need to eat. It’s not fo me to judge others based on my own body’s needs.

Cheese and crackers please

Depends if the person who is ‘expecting’ an evening meal is expecting someone else to cook it. No judgement if they’re going to sort themselves out. I’d be planning a wine and cheese evening if it was me.

I don't tend to overeat when eating out, so would probably want a light tea (cheeseboard and crackers plus some fruit probably) later on in the evening. I'd not be happy with whoever arranged lunch for 4pm though, ridiculous time for a meal, neither lunch nor dinner. I'd have been starving between breakfast at 7-8am and lunch at 4pm.

No. If I had a big roast lunch I’d want something quite light later like cheese and crackers.

If we had a big pub lunch, I wouldn't be making dinner. Part of the joy of it is that not only are you not required to cook lunch, you also don't need to do dinner. Even more so if the pub roast was at 4pm. But we got to bed about 10pm. I suppose if you're night owls you might need something.

Perhaps some tea and biscuits but not a meal no.

toast or cereal only.

It will also depend what else youve eaten over the day.

A bowl of cereal at 8am, then nothinv until 4pm is very different to a fry up, lunch and the Roast at 4pm.

No. I rarely eat after 6.00 pm. If I was hungry later I would have a banana.

No but if I knew I was having a roast in the pub at 4pm I’d have stocked up on a cheese board and would set about it the minute I got home from the pub 👌

Not a meal. We might have some toast at about 8pm but also maybe not.
