Who came up with dessert? Like the first to say if you eat this food then you can eat more food. And we shall give it an official name. And that name shall be Dessert. Or appetizers? Eat this food before you eat more food. And if you eat all of that food you can have more food.

Desserts started out as appetisers in the Middle East, where sweets and pastries were served to whet the appetite before the main meal. European visitors took the tradition back home, but sweets & sweet pastries were served as part of the whole meal, especially at banquet where all the dishes would be brought out together, until the end of the medieval era and up until around the 1600s. The term "dessert" is actually related to desertion. Sweet puddings began to be kept on a different table to the main meal as people began to prefer having something sweet at the end of the meal rather than at the start or in the middle. As the sweet was now brought out or served separately, it was seen as having 'deserted' the main meal, and the name "dessert" stuck.
