Just wondered, who generally always has a pudding after their evening meal? I noticed that on other threads a lot of puddings are listed when people say what they are having for dinner, but we never have one.
My son might grab an ice-cream from the freezer, or a yoghurt, but thats about it.
So who regularly makes a pudding, and is it a big part of your meal for you?
always have a yoghurt, Kids always have puddings, first question they ask when they sit down to dinner..Whats for Pudding? Always the same reply..Finish your dinner and see!
Tried to get them into butterscotch angel delight but they both hate angel delight...Kids Tschhh
Depends on your language. My lot call everything served then "pudding" whether it is listed as a pudding in conventional cookery books or not. But to have a true pudding is a rare event, confined to visits to traditionalist British restaurants like Simpson's in the Strand, where nothing has changed much since Mrs Beeton's day and a lot of the cooking could be described as "school dinners for adults".
There would be riots if I didn't have something sweet for them after dinner! Ice cream 'bars' on a stick like Asda's own Magnums or cornettos will be acceptable - but mostly they like a traditional pud, a pie, crumble, sticky toffee pudding, sponge or gateau, trifle, egg custard with stewed fruit.
Occasionally, If I'm in the baking mood, I'll do an apple pie or fruit crumble to have hot with ice-cream. Wanders off drooling and wondering what fruit I've got in the freezer.
The girls will usually have some fruit, yoghurt or ice cream. Usually later on the grown ups - I use that term loosely - will have wee treat. I've got some sour Haribo for us tonight.
I'd rather have a starter than a pudding. It often confuses waiters when I ask for whitebait or deep fried camambert when the others have ordered sticky toffe pudding or banoffee pie. :)
