    we have fruit and a square of chocolate. Small inexpensive treat that tricks us into feeling like we've had a pudding.

    Only regularly at weekends. Not usually during the week.

    Always had a pudding when I was a child, usually milk based (soya milk for me) - my mum thought it was important for some reason!

    I would eat the pudding first - best bit. Now I have my pudding for breakfast!

    My favourites are sponges with custard, rice pudding (home made) and bread and butter pudding.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Not really during the week, the odd time. More often at weekends, not always. Certainly not every night.
  • I have yogurt or fruit and occasionally Rice Pudding i don't eat Chocolate cakes or ice cream although frozen yogurt is something i also have sometimes if its on offer.

    We gave up puddings on weekdays once the children went to uni too. Now we have fruit and then a square of chocolate with our after dinner coffee.DH hates yogurt so I rarely buy it.
    We still have puddings at weekends and if we have visitors.

    No pudding. Then again I eat by myself in front of the TV/laptop so I don't really have a formal evening meal.

  • I only usually make a pudding to follow Sunday dinner. Other than that I do bake some cupcakes, muffins or brownies once a week. The only one that looks for pudding most days is my youngest who is hollow. He'll have either fruit, yoghurt, ice-cream, individual steam pudding and custard, angel delight, jelly, or even cereal sometimes.

  • DD (8) and DS (4) expect pudding but I think this stems from school dinners where they always have proper puddings (jelly and cream tomorrow!). Home puddings are yoghurt and fruit. DH and I don't have pudding.

    Growing up we only had a pudding on Sundays, maybe a vienetta or arctic roll :) my Mum still buys vienetta for when the grandchildren visit.
