Desserts

A dessert is typically the sweet course that concludes a meal in the culture of many countries,
particularly Western culture. The course usually consists of sweet foods, but may include other items.
The word "dessert" originated from the French word desservir "to clear the table" and the negative of
the Latin word servire.[2]

There are a wide variety of desserts in western cultures,

including cakes, cookies, biscuits, gelatins, pastries, ice creams, pies, puddings, and candies. Fruit is also
commonly found in dessert courses because of its natural sweetness. Many different cultures have their
own variations of similar desserts around the world, such as in Russia, where many breakfast foods such
as blini, oladyi, and syrniki can be served with honey and jam to make them popular as desserts.
