AIBU to think most people have something sweet after dinner daily?

[QuickPearlFox]

To have something sweet/ pudding every day after dinner?
kind of thought the majority did this but after talking to friends maybe not. So for example after dinner every night will have something sweet eg bar of chocolate, biscuits

Yes, normally I have a small amount of ice cream, with strawberries. Or a piece of chocolate. When I was a child we'd always have tinned peaches, tinned pears or tinned fruit salad with Elmlea. I think it stems from there. On a Sunday 'high tea' we'd finish with a slice of battenburg ir a French fancy too.

Not me or anyone I know

Some do, some don’t. Not sure about the majority though.

We do occasionally but more often than not we don’t.

I think as people become more health conscious its less likely people will do it.

Only at the weekend here

Never?

No I would be diabetic if I did this

Mince pies this week.

Oh definitely OP. I'm ashamed to say my ice-cream after dinner is quite literally often the highlight of my day. I do try and eat quite healthily and don't eat in between meals at all so I always think I' ve earned my bowl of Mackies.

No, I'm fat so can't afford to routinely have pudding :(

No. I sometimes have fruit, but I usually have fruit after lunch or later in the afternoon, rather than after dinner.

We do and so do the kids. Everything in moderation.

No, not in our house.
But this was a habit I had to work to break. I think it was normal growing up when people generally ate less outside meal times. I'm over 50 now and have had to really cut what I eat.
We will do something for pudding for a special meal but not on the regular.

No, never done this routinely. My mum didn't do pudding/ sweet things routinely either we might get one at the weekend, but sweet things were more likely to appear earlier in the day

Later in the evening I might have some ice cream or choc but usually an hour after dinner

We are always snacking. So we have dinner around 5.30 and then snack on and off all evening. Dh and I shouldn’t really, both overweight but it’s a hard habit to break.

I always did as a child, but now I never do. occasionally a couple of squares of chocolate before bed but never anything else (unless I'm out for dinner).

Only at the weekend. I may have yoghurt if I'm hungry

I have biscuits or a bit of chocolate with a cuppa after DC are in bed.

We never do! I think I’d be quite fat if I did 😂

We have greek yoghurt and blueberries most nights. Ice cream at the weekend

No

I don't see cakes or sweet things as a treat.

No we don’t. Generally the kids dont have anything sweet Mon to Thursday but do at weekend. I like a couple of biscuits with my coffee but it’s usually during the day. Sometimes I have a small piece of dark chocolate when I sit down but it’s a very small bit. We generally dont don’t do deserts. All well within normal weights.

Very rarely. I might make a pudding or dessert at the weekend now and again, but we rarely have cakes, biscuits or chocolate at home.
There is currently the end of DH's birthday cake from Sunday, a banana bread, and DH's birthday chocolates (unopened). I have had 2 small pieces of birthday cake and one piece of banana bread in the last week. That's very unusual.

Would you consider eating your dinner later? 5:30 does feel massively early to me. I feel like I’m still full from lunch and it’s 6pm, we don’t eat our evening meal until 8:30 most evenings and no snacking after!
ds will usually rummage in the cupboard for some pudding but unless something has been baked the rest of us don’t eat again after dinner.

When our kids were small we would have a yoghurt or bananas and custard after tea every day, but now we're all grown ups pudding is rarer.

We have a crumble or a sticky toffee pudding after our Sunday roast and occasionally a mini Magnum or a bit of ice cream after dinner in the week. Sometimes I get a pudding in on a Saturday if we need a treat, but generally we don't have anything.

I do quite often have a square of Lindt or a few Montezuma chocolate buttons when I get in from work though!
