Beautiful and Delicious Desserts
They usually look beautiful especially those you see in restaurants and the frozen food section in supermarket. Come to think of it, the desserts in the bakery sections look too good for comfort as well.
I know somebody who is as thin as a stick and she loves desserts. When she eats in restaurants she has just a small starter like a green salad then the yummiest dessert on the menu. I'm not totally convinced this is a balanced healthy diet but it suits her.
Personally, I love most kinds of desserts from creamy, fruit ones to rich chocolate to more homely ones like apple pie and crumble.

Is it a Dessert or a Pudding or a Sweet?

Although I've called this Best Desserts on Twitter, here in the UK we usually call this course of a meal a pudding, a sweet or even afters because it's eaten after the main course. Just to make things more complicated, most restaurants do call them desserts.
Even though I love desserts, I don't eat them often. If I did, I'd be the size of a small house. In fact, here in the UK very few people eats desserts or puddings as a regular part of their lunch or dinner. It's something we only eat occasionally as part of a special meal. Of course some of us love going to restaurants because it's a good excuse to have a lovely dessert.

Sachertorte

A friend and I went for a meal in a Korean restaurant in London. It was a very smart place and the food was beautiful. When we came out we enthused about the meal and how healthy it was. As we went past the Swiss Centre (then in Leicester Square) we decided to pop in for a coffee. We saw the beautiful sachertorte they had in the coffee bar and, while reminding each other what a wonderful healthy meal we had just had, we both ordered a piece together with a hot chocolate. So much for our healthy meal.

- Well, yes, I like desserts even though I am in a none sugar diet. So I do a lot of compromising... and I still have my favorite desserts from time to time.

- I love most desserts but I didn't vote in your poll because ice cream was left out, and I didn't want to be unfaithful.
I'm like your scrawny friend but I think if I keep reading your amazing food lenses, I just might put on enough weight to fit into a B cup. Wish me luck!
