Growing up, we always had dessert following dinner (the evening meal). Mom baked, so frequently there was a small piece of cake or pie, but if not, there was always a dish of ice cream or maybe one or two cookies.
My husband grew up having dessert before bed, not after dinner. He says they always ate too much at dinner to enjoy dessert right after, so they had ice cream or pie while watching late-night television.
Nowadays, my husband and daughter really prefer to have dessert for breakfast. If I make a pie or cake, they'll have a piece the day I make it, but will have any other leftovers for breakfast for the next couple of mornings.
So when you eat like to eat dessert? Do you order dessert following a meal at a restaurant? Do you feel you need a bite of something sweet to properly end a meal? Or do you like to eat dessert on it's own?
