Quite often if I'm in a restaurant I'd sooner have a coffee or a glass of port after a meal than a dessert, and if it's a choice between starter and main or main and dessert, I'm always going for the starter.

Members SuperBacon Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM Cheese as a dessert is perfectly acceptable. It's cheese. It's acceptable at any time and under any guise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted yesterday at 10:12 AM Paid Members Share Posted yesterday at 10:12 AM (edited) There is no attack on seasoning or cheese here Daz. Both are wonderful. A cheeseboard is lovely, it's not a dessert but it lovely none the less. I assume you are having just cheese and crackers/biscuits Daz. None of the delicious chutney accompaniments for you. It's this "No dessert at home" thing that's strange really. Were you one of those kids that believed their parents when they were told that when the ice cream man plays his chimes it means he has sold out? We don't have dessert at home every day but at least once a week we do. My restaurant dessert rule is order something you wouldn't make at home. That way you get to try something new. Edited yesterday at 10:13 AM by Lion_of_the_Midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutney's just a lumpy condiment. Rubbish. And a cheeseboard is a dessert. Of course it is. I just don't really have a sweet tooth. I like fruit, but that's it really. I'll occasionally have a bit of dark chocolate, but rarely. The idea of those awful spongey cakes people have with cream and other sauces and whatnot? Horrendous. Kids party stuff. Even as a kid I'd rather just have a bag of crisps. Sweet puddings and desserts are not my bag, Lionel. I once went for dinner as part of my friends stag do in London, as a fellow pudding denier the groom decided to treat himself to ordering a second main whilst others had their dessert or coffees. Most incredible thing I've ever seen. Edited yesterday at 10:18 AM by d-d-d-dAz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey listen, it sounds like I save a lot of money on the things like balloons and party hats that you lot need with all your meals. So i'll call that a win.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted yesterday at 10:31 AM Paid Members Share Posted yesterday at 10:31 AM If you don't have a sweet tooth then I understand Daz, but a cheeseboard is not a dessert. My great uncle was in the Navy for 22 years. He was once in charge of a dinner on one of the ships he served on for The Queen and Prince Philip. He got a severe bollocking from his superior for leaving too long a gap between dessert and cheese and for only having a choice of 9 different cheeses on the board. Dessert and cheese separate courses brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the republican cheese, please. I think 'dessert' literally means to 'conclude a meal', so that means either the cheese or the tip I leave the chef for not sullying my plate with all these awful sauces that seem so popular on here.

If we are getting in to meanings brother it means sweet course to conclude a meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it all the same? @Lion_of_the_Midlands take it up with the French or something. Or maybe don't, they're into pastries and little cakes and stuff like that. They can't be trusted either.
