What do you feed your ravenous sprogs when home from school?

[DrNortherner]

My ds who is 7 could eat a scabby horse (his words not mine) when he comes home from school, dinner is not till 6pm usually so I need to give him a snack.

Fruit and stuff does not cut it, he craves STODGE. So sometimes he gets crumpets, tea cakes, croissant or biscuits.

What do yours have?

I dont always do this but if we are having a late dinner, I get english muffins, toast them, put cheese and ham on one side, grill it lightly, and put the other half on top. DC love that.

Scones with jam

Fresh crusty bread and honey/banana

homemade cake

or just biscuits if in a rush

bread and cheese but he loves cheese, ds(16) eats about 20 sausage rolls

Malt Loaf is popular here. Muffins. Toast if desperate

Mmmmmm malt loaf.

I'm never here because I'm at work but today dp gave them fruit, toghurt and bread and butter.

Sometimes he buys them cup-a-soup for this purpose (I don't buy them because I think they are rancid packets of budgie-cage sediment but hey ho!).

Toast.

Tea cakes.

Cereal.

Babybels.

A bit of baking if we have any.

Or a biscuit, or bread with something.

Usual sort of stuff.

Don't have DCs of this age but I love a good peanut butter & banana sarnie when ravenous.

When they were younger I had to take 2 apples to the school gate as they'd be so hungry they would lash out at each other on the way home.
Its harder to biff your bro/sis with an apple in your hand.
