What is your definition of "dessert?"

MoRiv1986

I am learning to equate "dessert" with fruit. I have been eating watermelon and other fruits as my dessert lately, and it tastes just as good. Here in Korea, the Koreans eat fruit as dessert, not the sweet stuff that Americans eat. I hope to make this a habit.

Greek yogurt for me, whether plain or with a fruit layer.

I love fruit, but I don't consider it pudding unfortunately.

Yogurt with/and fruit! Anything else usually is a (restaurant) treat P:

For me dessert is a sweet treat eaten after dinner. Frequently it's fruit, but once in a while its still a cookie or little ice cream!

PlayerHatinDogooder

Ice cream or beer.

Typically my dessert is frozen berries (with no added sugar), light whipped topping, and sometimes half a graham cracker. I still eat fruit during the day, so the whipped topping is the treat really!

eating cheesecake till I find myself disgusted by myself and then wait a couple of hours before eating some more...

Then I go to bed cryign myself while making promises of going back to diet when I wake up only to wake up at around noon and thinking "Well, the day is ruined anyways, might as well. Gonna start diet tomorrow" and then I order pizza and chicken wings and promise the delivery guy to tip him extra if he'll pick up a tub of ice cream on his way over.

And that is the circle of fat life.

My definition of dessert is still a sweet treat. NOT fruit. I wish it were fruit, but it's not

megsmom2

Pretty much anything sweet...fruit is fine, or jello, or yogurt....or a cupcake now and then. In the summer I like Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches..very satisfying for 150 calories.

It used to be eton mess, profiteroles, or crumble (cobbler, for you Americans). Now its 10 calorie jellies or yogurt or muller rice.

AllTehBeers

Ice cream or beer.

<= Why not both together?

sarahslim100

Fruit. Maybe with some greek yoghurt if i havent had any dairy that day. I bring fruit along to other peoples houses now so all my friends r used to plain fruit salad. Itss yummy in qld here..dont understand why we dont eat more of it

morticia16

my definition of dessert is something chocolaty and ice-creamy. i cannot, for the life of me, call fruit dessert. so, well, here i am, dessert-ing on magnum classic (mini these days)

PlayerHatinDogooder

Ice cream or beer.

Martucha123

a piece of fruit when I'm eating homemade meal, if i'm eating out then piece of fruit or yogurt or cake or icecream
those are the options you have where I live.
when we have big family lunch /dinner then it's fruit and cake comes with coffe about 1 h later

BeachIron

Ice cream or beer.

Guinness Stout and vanilla ice cream, though there seems to be a running debate in my house between chocolate vs. vanilla ice cream. Personally I like vanilla floats and my wife likes chocolate. While the debate has gotten heated on occasion, we have worked out a compromise that on her birthday and Mother's Day it's chocolate, and on my birthday and Father's Day it's vanilla.

Aside from that, dark chocolate, truffles, cheese cake, birthday cake, chocolate chip cookies, milk shakes, apple pie, and key lime pie are among my favorites.

This is the way it is in many countries around the world.

For me it depends what type of day it is

If i give myself a cheat dessert i will have cake ( havent had that kind of sweets though in about 45 days and not missing it)

IF its a normal dessert i will have fruit or sometimes a chocolate protein bar or fiber one brownie depending what i am craving....

I usually dont have dessert thu any more.

crystalflame

Something I really want that satisfies a craving. Usually ice cream or chocolate, sometimes a cookie or cheesecake, often wine or beer, and on the rare occasion a bag of chips. Dessert = treat. Fruit isn't a treat to me, it's necessary for my micronutrient intake, and it's usually breakfast. I lived in Singapore for 6 years where I got served fruit for dessert and still failed to adopt that as a habit... Ice cream's just too good.

Anything I choose to eat or drink after finishing the meal "proper," merely for the enjoyment of that extra course, is dessert.

GormanGhaste

I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I do try to eat a lot of fruit every day. We usually keep chocolate-peanut butter spread on hand and sometimes no-bake cookies, although the cookies will sometimes go bad before we finish them.

MoRiv1986

I have to admit that growing up my definition of dessert was cake, ice cream, or pie. I still love ice cream, and I eat it when I am craving it, but I am enjoying eating fruits these days as an alternative to all of the sweet stuff I used to eat.

emmiee921

Cobani no fat yoghurt with chocolate protein powder

Low carb high protein so good

whierd

Whatever I eat after dinner.

Desserts should be full fat, full sugar and carby.


By the power vested in me by myself, I now declare "carby' to be a proper word.

What did I learn growing up?! Lol.

Chocolate should be considered dessert, but I don't eat it anyways. I'll have some fruit with dinner though.

blisser99

I wish fruit was considered a dessert on my house. It used to be cupcakes and ice cream.. I am getting better and now have frozen yogurt or pudding. I can trick myself with a fruit salad, but the whipped topping isn't good for me. I think the ultimate dessert is a smores.

This. I don't eat dessert very often. For me it is an occasional special treat. So when I indulge I have the mentality of go big or go home.

Sharkington

Dessert to me is usually something creamy, sugary, or processed. (like cake, cookies, ice cream).
I do eat fruit for dessert a lot, but when I say it out loud or in my head it's less of a dessert and more of a "dessert".
