Pudding?
Comments

We ALWAYS have pudding, but 90% of the time it's just a yoghurt or fruit. Perhaps on a weekend I'll make something that goes with custard!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Yes, I grew up always having 'afters' (don't use the term pudding!)
Usually fruit and or yogurt. I do eat quite a lot of fruit. I think it is nice to end your meal with something light and refreshing.
I sometimes bake something like banana bread or fruit muffins and occasionally make a crumble (just reminded me we haven't had one for ages!)0 -
No kids. When dh is home (three evening meals a week) we usually have a three corse meal. It might be we have a cocktail instead of a pudding but as an aperitif, or we might have a fruit salad, or fruit pudding with no or low fat and added sugar, maybe a piece of cake, some fresh/ dried fruit and cheese (probably that last one most often) or more occasionally something 'more' .0

To those that don't - do you not eat anything sweet at all (even fruit)? Or do you just eat that between meals?0

We never have pudding and I'm not sure I'd encourage one for a young child neither. I eat sweet things don't get me wrong but in between meals when I'm peckish. After dinner I'm not hungry so just wouldnt think of having pudding since my main food has filled me up!
The exception to that is meals out when I always always want pudding!0 -

I've been trying to work out what a GU is for ages, please put me out of my misery
We rarely have afters but may have something later such as fuit, yoghurt, jelly and ice cream (never too old for that) or something with custard in winter but not every day and never straight after a main meal.14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie - 2/140 -
We only have it on Sunday.0

I think having a pudding as part of a meal is preferable to guzzling sweets, biscuits and chocolate throughout the day. We have something sweet most days after dinner, it could be stewed pears or plums, homemade rice pudding, a small chocolate bar, a mini Magnum or Solero, a pack of sweet popcorn, a couple of biscuits or a small piece of cake. In the summer maybe fruit and single cream.
Desserts like cheesecake, cream slices etc are for special occasions.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -

Its a brand that does puddings! Very tasty but very expensive. http://www.gupuds.com/
I used to have pudding most days, but something like fruit, or a weight watchers dessert.
Now i've had the bypass I can just about manage about 5-6 mouthfuls so no way I can fit in a pudding!
My girls have puddings at lunch (hot at school and nursery) and something like a mini yogurt or a piece of fruit after tea.0
