    Almost never cake or any other sweet stuff. Sometimes a yoghurt, recentely moving onto natural youghurts. Lots of fruit every day.
    I like keeping thin ;)

    We're so spoiled for choice, us. I remember even as recently as the 1970's only having chicken on a Sunday ... and Sunday was the only day we got dessert too. We weren't poor, dessert "just wasn't done" during the week.

    Mum's lemon meringue pie ... Granny's baked Alaska (how did she cook ice cream in the oven without it melting ???) ... I wish I'd kept their recipes.

    My own highlight of the week was a Friday night ... for then we got Vesta boil in the bag curry ... so exotic ... so tasty ... and doesn't it seem so snide now.

    Back to the question. Desserts. Yeah, every night, usually stodgy in the Winter (cake, custard), more fruity in the summer (with ice cream, sorbet)
    I no longer contribute to the Benefits & Tax Credits forum.

    C - Never

    When we go out for meals I sometimes have a dessert, but rarely, and never have dessert at home.

    I'd never really thought about it before with the school lunches, and yeah I don't think they should do two courses, as if I was going to have two courses it would be tea time that I would (dinner for people not from the north lol)
