Sweet finale. Desserts are dishes made with sweet foods like cake, ice cream, and biscuits that typically come at the end of a meal. Some restaurants serve them as their own special course.

Drinks included. Desserts aren't just solid foods. They can include sweet beverages like dessert wine or liqueur that pair well with your sweet treats.

Different everywhere. Not all cultures finish meals with desserts the way some countries do. In some parts of the world, having a special sweet course at the end of a meal isn't really a tradition.

Savory goes sweet. Some cultures are creative and sweeten foods that are normally salty or savory to make them into desserts. This shows how different food traditions can turn the same ingredient into something totally different.
