Overview

"A ""dessert"" is a course of food served after dinner. Dessert foods are typically sweet, but they can also be powerfully flavored dishes, such as cheese, as in cheese cake. Dessert is derived from the Old French term ""deserver,"" which means ""to clean the table."" Dessert is frequently confused with the word desert (notice the single ""s""), which refers to a bare piece of land with sand as the soil. The emergence of the middle class and the industrialization of the sugar business did not bring the privilege of sweets to the general people until the 19th century, when it was no longer reserved for the nobility or as a rare holiday treat. This was because sugar became more affordable and accessible to the general populace. Desserts developed and became popular as sugar became more commonly available. Dessert dishes have been a common topic of conversation in today's culture, as they are a great way to win people over at the end of any dinner. This is largely because if you serve a mediocre lunch but a great dessert, people would remember you for the dessert rather than the meal. Some of the most common desserts are:  biscuits or biscuits  Ice  meringue  fruit  Cake  Crumbles  Vanilla pudding  Gelatin desserts  pudding  pastries  cakes or pies"
