Now this is a celebration day many people could get behind - one celebrating the dessert. Of course, the word dessert does cover a huge range of dishes. The dessert is the final course in a meal, usually the main meal of the day.
Dessert dishes are typically sweet, but do not have to be. They can also be referred to as the sweet course, afters or pudding. Early desserts tended to be made from natural ingredients, with honey and nut based ones popular (some of which still are, such as the baklava). Some dessert dishes are also eaten at other times of the day. For example, pastries are a popular breakfast item in many countries.
Sweet desserts tend to be, by their very nature, high in sugar, and sometimes fats, so they are often not the healthiest if dishes to consume. This is not always the case, though, as there are many dishes that can be made with fruit that tend to be healthier - although this does depend on how the fruit is served and what with.
Desserts includes pastries, ice cream, cakes, cookies, custards and pies, but are not limited to these, and there are many different sub-types.
