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

I absolutely do. I look forward to it all day!

Not every day, no. If I did, I would be the size of a small hippo. So puddings, desserts, whatever you want to call them are a weekend treat. As is alcohol. And chocolate. And cakes. Because having been clinically obese for many years & now being a healthy weight, I’m staying there.

I’m late 50s. I only had pudding at school or on Sunday growing up. My children were the same. Snacks were available but none of us have a sweet tooth, so crisps or sev were preferred. Don’t get me started on tzatziki or houmous and veggies. And the eggs: all the friends for eggs on toast. The teenage years were a blur of buying eggs and never being able to eat one myself!

No, not even when the kids were small. Treats were occasional

Only after Sunday dinner here!

Nope, never here, but we eat at 7ish

I grew up with pudding. Penguin/kitkat after lunch. Biscuits or cake or semolina etc after tea.

We don't have tea until about 7or 8, but still have a few biscuits or something sweet after it. Don't really snack though.

No. Cut up fruit or a banana or apple in the daytime as a snack. I've kind of lost my sweet tooth.

I sometimes do but mostly prefer something sweet in the afternoon. Perhaps people who never have dessert have sweet food at other times.

Why?

No. I start piling weight on if I do.

I don't normally enjoy sweet food after savoury, unless I'm eating out. I love cakes and puddings, but I tend to eat them separately from a main meal. I do love a Tunnocks teacake or KitKat after dinner, though.

No - probably not even once a week.
But we do eat quite a lot of cheese!

No, this has never been my normal.

Lord. Are the posters here really representative of the average person? It’s an extremely unusual day for me if I don’t have something sweet. Quite often twice a day.

No. Not for decades now. Maybe in the 70s when I was born.

I don’t, but no idea what the majority do.

Never, unless we are entertaining.

Nope. Don’t have things like biscuits, cake or ice cream in the house - just don’t think to buy them, not on my radar at all.

That’s not to say I never eat anything sweet, it’s just not after dinner! I tend to eat enough for dinner that I don’t want anything afterwards. If I have something sweet it’s usually mid afternoon.

Not in this house. In fact it's a bit of a family joke that adult DS always asks "What's for pudding" when he visits. He knows the answer is "nothing". Same as it was when he lived here.
Having been away with a number of different friends over the last few months, where we've been self catering and each provided for ourselves, we've been astounded at the amount of snacking that goes on after meals have been eaten - both sweet and savoury(large bags of crisps). We very rarely snack but if we do it will be fruit or cheese.

😄 you've asked everyone you know have you?

The amount of space given to yoghurts/puddings/ice cream/cakes/choc in a supermarket gives you a good indication of how popular they are. Someone is eating them!

I agree. I have always had something sweet every day and I am pretty sure most people do.

Very rarely. If I am ill or feeling under the weather I occasionally have a square of chocolate. I live alone though, if that's relevant.
