Do you have pudding after dinner every day?

In our house, I provide a pudding or dessert each evening after our main meal. I have just been chatting with friends and it would seem that this is unusual in our group.

How many of you also have dessert each evening and what type of things do you have? I am a keen baker so we have lots of cakes, cookies and muffins.

    We normally have a yoghurt each. But on a Sunday we might have a crumble or some sort of baked pudding

    We very rarely have a dessert, maybe once a month or so, and at Christmas.

    I am a keen eater of chocolate in the evenings, so I try to avoid desserts as well. Fruit and yoghurt yes, cheesecake (alas) no. :D

    Only on Christmas Day as far as proper puddings go. OH has fruit or yoghurt, something along those lines.

    I rarely have pudding/dessert. I'll have one when I (rarely) eat out.

    DH is not at home weekdays. When he is home more we have'interesting' fruit salads for more regular puddings, or just beautiful fresh fruit. Or DH might have cheese. I do make puddings at weekends , I don't always have them them sadly, but they are appreciated. It used to be every weekend meal, but I've cut down and it shows.

    We rarely have pudding. I bake alot, so there's always cake and stuff available, which is usually for supper.
  • Our habits changed when the children went to Uni.

    When they are at home, there is always a pud - home made cakes, biscuits, crumbles and pies.

    However, DH refuses to eat proper pud when they are not here so we have either fruit, yoghurt or nothing. :(

    You get used to it!

    We have a pudding maybe once a fortnight, at most. Normally something simple like a shop bought cheesecake, or strawberries cream and a broken meringue nest.

    We do eat snacks after dinner time though. Maybe a biscuit (or 3...), a chocolate bar, packet of crisps, bowl of fruit, a yoghurt. Something sweet and snacky :)
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...
