    Hi,

    We always have something, usually fruit or yoghurt.

    I mix it up once or twice a week with something different such as ice cream or jelly. Or if we have a surplus of milk I'll make a rice pudding.

    I usually finish off with a cuppa and something sweet - maybe a biscuit or a chocolate. If I eat out I'll always forgo a starter so I've got room for a pud. If it's an Indian meal, I'll pass on a dessert (don't like those kulfi dalek things :D) and get DH to call in at the late-night petrol station and get me a Twirl or Flake instead.

    Can you guess from my username????

    Was brought up that way, pudding after lunch AND dinner, and yes I'd rather have pudding than a starter and have also been known just to go straight for pudding only...and in fact even when I'm so stuffed from a meal there's always room for pudding.

    And I wonder why the diet always starts tomorrow!
    Really should be doing some work...

    We rarely have a dessert - only perhaps if we're having someone round for a sunday roast, or at Christmas. When we eat out I might have one if there's room, but often I don't have room. However, certain members of my extended family seem to manage to polish off a starter, main *and* dessert when we eat out with them - however they manage I just don't know...

    Isn't it funny how excited or horrified we are at the prospect of pudding?

    I would say C. I have never bought a desert for use at home or out. It is something I feel I suffer when I forget to warn someone and it is put in front of me!

    My dear mother however loves them, eating out is a starter and dessert and if she was a single woman I believe she would live on puddings! I think when my father passes away she will live on sardines on toast, cheese on toast, cheese and crackers and puddings!

    We usually only have a sweet course at home if it's a celebration but I occasionally boil a pudding if everyone's cold (yes, boiled, in a tea towel, it's the only way to cook a good spotted !!!!!!).

    I'm not a big pudding eater so we rarely have a sweet with our dinner sometimes in the summer we will have a bowl of icecream in the evening. We do normally have icelollys in the freezer all the time so if the kids want a treat and they eat all their dinner i let them have one of those
