A sweet dessert is the standard for many I think. But cookies, candy and chips get eaten a lot as well.
Some people don’t eat anything after diner but I could never do that when I was young. We ate at 17.00-17.30 but since I was growing hard, I was always hungry at 8-9 again. My mom used to stare at me in disbelief when I made new food late at night.
I think most people do eat something. Also, typical Dutch and Belgian food is not that healthy with lots of fats, too much meat and too little veggies, too much carbs etc. More than 50% of the people are overweight here. And when they snack, it’s often not that healthy, as I mentioned above.
Not fat shaming anyone I hope, but the general population is getting fatter pretty fast over here. Targeting mostly poor people and migrants, as these things unfortunately mostly do.
I think food being mostly carbs would otherwise have been fine but these days most of the food is heavily processed so you end up with carbs with high glycemic index which is the bigger problem.

Seems kinda nuts to nothing between 5:30PM and breakfast the next day. But maybe the body gets used to it.
