Maybe I got it from my father, after a meal I always want to have a sweet food like candies or chocolate to complete my meal. Even a small portion is fine with me as long it is sweet. I remember when I'm still young my mother always prepared dessert for us. But when I get married I did not do it since I already conscious in my body. And now I'm getting older I just noticed that It satisfies me when I eat something sweet after meal.

Hi Lyn! We thought that we Indian are found of having a sweet after meals ..... Lol! It is interesting to note that you too are found of sweets and you have a sweet tooth. All in our family need a sweet - be it a desert, ice cream, chocolate or some cookies and without it we feel that our meals have remained incomplete.

Yes I do, i love to eat sweet foods after eating because it makes me feel more satisfied in food. I love eating yogurt or ice cream after eating to flush the taste of the dish and replace it by eating sweet foods.

Oh yes...have to have my dessert! I love a little something sweet after a meal but usually it's just the evening meal. After lunch I don't need one....I guess it just rounds out the meal for me.

I don't usually crave for sweets after eating a meal.When I finish eating my belly is so full,that I can't think I can shove another food. Bu it has happened to me also.I found myself wanting to eat sweets,even if I was full.And this is a dilemma for me.If I eat,I may probably barf all of it.But if I don't,I will crave that sweet.

Most feeding experts, advise eating fruit, especially oranges after fatty dishes such as meat and fish, such this fruit helps a lot to digest, and useful in the body's absorption and utilization of these foods

Yes, I like pudding or ice cream best, or chocolate chunk cookies with milk. You are right about the portion control, though. It does not have to be a big dessert. Just something delicious.

Lyn, i and my family not necessary need to have any dessert after our meal. In fact, we seldom need to eat any sweet food after any meal. We prefer to have a cup of warm drink after meal if only the weather is cool. If the weather is warm, then it is not necessary to have any drink. Because every meal, we will prepare a veggies soup for easy digestion.

Heck, for me, desert is my meal. Sweet is my meal. He he he, actually for me, i don't eat sweets after a meal. Why? Because after i eat sweets, i don't follow it up anymore with a proper meal. I love cakes and if there is a cake in the kitchen(chocolate flavor), i don't eat anymore meals but i just eat the cake and consider it my meal. Good luck for you though, they say, eating sweets after a meal makes you fat, probably. But who cares when you feel pleasure. Cheers!

I am not that type really. I like a sweet after dinner on occasion but it is by no means a necessity or that I want it all of the time. When I am at my grandmother's I expect it more because she usually always has ice cream for desert and she makes this delicious oreo mint cake or pie... mmmm...

I think this one of our common habits after meal- panghimagas :) Actually,it's still a part of our meal, every Filipino (almost every Filipino) It's like we're not full without the sweets/desserts

Actually, a meal is complete with something sweet at the end. Since, sugar is also needed by the body to get energetic to work, it is taken at the end of the meal, else it kills hunger if taken in the beginning of the meal. I too long for something sweet at the end of a meal particularly in cold weathers.

Hi Lyn. I used to be like that but after getting sick so many times after stomach surgery I pretty much have stopped craving those things. I just had to train NY brain not to want it by abstaining from them.

Not after meals but when I loved with mt parents we would always have something sweet to go with our tea whenever we drank some together. It would either be chocolate, cake or some biscuits. It would be a habit that never went away.
