Pudding?

Lunar_Eclipse

The kids usually have pudding and sadly, it is very much the norm at all the schools we have experienced offering school dinners (hence why the kids have it now!)

On the one hand I accept that kids need the calories, on the other it is a bad habit.

At home, our puddings are typcially not full on cooked affairs. Last night it was tinned fruit cocktail, tonight was nothing.

Having said all of that, I do like to eat some chocolate or something sweet at some time after dinner and before bed myself (not that they really know.)

Thanks for the answers, everybody!

Looks like almost everyone has something sweet after tea, even if it's only yoghurt.

I must be really weird as I don't even have fruit or yoghurt after dinner/tea! That is unless we go to my MIL, then it's a proper pudding with ice cream or custard.

Going against the grain here, yes we do have pudding here.

I make 2/3 puds a week (Crumbles, Baked Apples, and maybe a big cake) but they last 3/4 days. I tend to serve with natural yoghurt.

I do this so that I dont have to make such a large main meal

I don't have a problem with my LO's nursery giving them puddings. It's often something fruity, and she loves fruit. She's at the age (16months) where one day she'll want lots of one thing (be it avocado or prawns or grapes) and totally reject everything else, and the next day it changes completely. So I think at her age being offered two courses at nursery is a good thing - chances are she'll eat one of them!

We normally give her a pudding at home. Mostly because she often eats a fruit pot or yoghurt even if she doesn't want anything else. And we like to know that she's got something in her tummy We sometimes give her jelly or cream caramel for variety, but not often.
