Page "Dessert" Paragraph 1

In cultures around the world, dessert or pudding is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food.

The word comes from the French language as dessert and this from Old French desservir, " to clear the table " and " to serve.

" The etymology is linked to the medieval practice of a two part meal.

During the first, nobles ( at a high ) and servants ( separate ) would eat together in the same room.

During the second-dessert, the noble family would retreat in separate private quarters for an intimate part of the meal without servants.

The food consumed during dessert included but was not limited to sweets.
