Pudding?

Luella-14_2

Once in a blue moon here, not for diet or money reasons, it just never occurs to me to make one. I'd rarely order one in a restaurant, would much rather have a starter than a dessert. In fact, I think the only time we'd have pudding at home is if one of us bought a dine in for £10 deal.

Re Gu puddings - I had a friend over for lunch one day and she brought two Gu chocolate puddings. We ate them and really enjoyed them apart from the fact they were so thick and 'clarty'. It was only after she had gone that I read the pack they came in and found that they were supposed to be cooked!!!

even a yogurt after dinner is an occasional treat. Usually if we want something sweet we eat fruit.
Though i always order a pudding when eating out!

Life is too short to call yoghurt a treat!

Saw an apple crumble on offer in Tescos (£1!), serves 4 but had it to myself with custard over the last 2 nights. First time in months, been miising out!

It is when you go back to your parents/OH's parents at the weekend and they literally force bags of sweets and takeaway at you!
I quite enjoy my healthy university terms
Saying that i bagged some reduced caramel shortbread today....

I see pudding as a proper pudding pudding like something with custard or icecream, or pavlova, cheesecake, that kind of thing. Something that you either have to bake or take out of a cardboard box and 'defrost at room temperature for 2-3 hours'

If people are including a biscuit or a bit of cake, then yes, I have pudding every night. After virtually every meal in fact. I always have a biscuit or cake after my breakfast toast/porridge. But in my mind, pudding is served only on Sundays or special occasions.

Very rarely - DH doesn't have a sweet tooth and I can't be bothered just for myself, so it's once in a blue moon when the rest of the family comes over for a Sunday roast.

We tend to only have 'pudding' at the weekend, though mid-week we sometimes have cream cakes mid-evening instead.

Andrew, on the other hand, has been having puddings since he started on toddler food! We saw it as a way of getting extra calories into him.

I agree Pudding or 'afters' as I would normally call it, or dessert, I would consider to be something like a crumble, or a tart, gateaux etc, or something I have in a restaurant along those lines.

At home I eat my dinner, then normally around an hour or two later Ill eat stuff ike youghurts, fruit, biscuits, ice cream, chocolate mousse and yes if theyre on offer a GU etc. I dont really think of that as pudding though just snacks. And I do that every night, Id be starving otherwise!
