Dessert is a course that concludes a meal.
Sugar was so important in the medical practices of the past that the saying 'like an apothecary without sugar' meant a state of utter desolation. The word dessert comes from the French verb desservir, meaning 'to clear the table'.
That tradition, of finishing a meal with a little something sweet, has its origins in France. As French food scholar Maryann Tebben explains, the French dessert has been around for centuries, but it's changed a lot over that time. French cookbooks from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance didn't exactly feature dessert.
The Number 1 Most Popular Desserts in America are Chocolate Chip Cookies. Apple pie is a stalwart of American culture. According to the American Pie Council, apple really is the US national favorite. October 14th is National Dessert Day in the United States!
