I’m not a desert eater generally. All taste good, but none are a real big deal so i typically skip all deserts as easy calories to avoid.
Ice cream and bread pudding are my go to deserts if I do feel like splurging. So I voted “other.” Cake and pie don’t do it for me. I do enjoy a glass of Port after a good meal.
I thought melon was fruit. Which is already on the list.
Unless it’s a euphemism for something.
Pie among the options listed (blueberry, cherry, pumpkin or chocolate), but I went with “Other.” Gimme cookies - specifically these: A kickass ginger snaps recipe - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
Other. I’m not a big desserts person, but a little bit of ice cream or a cookie are great for me. After that, cake, but it depends on the kind of cake, of course.
Let’s see… my three favorite desserts, in descending order, are pecan pie, kanafehand lemon meringue pie. Since the first and third are pies, and the second is somewhere between a pie and a pastry, I’ll have to say “pie”.
Chocolate mousse.
I am rather less fond of mousse and squirrel, and mousse and wombat is right out.
I voted “other” - I like custards (Crème caramel and crème brûlée, especially, but I wouldn’t trifle over a trifle), and meringues - baked Alaska, Eton mess, Pavlova - and puddings (which is not the same things as what the OP means by pudding, I gather) - summer pudding is my favourite, closely followed by malva pudding.
I realise many of those contain fruit. But they are not what I’d call a “fruit dessert”
Please exclude my misspelling earlier. I swear I’m not always this stupid. Just multitasking. I’ll give myself a warning for this.
Sliced apple, or orange slices seem completely different than delicious Cantaloupe. It’s our most frequent dessert. We have Cantaloupe or honeydew melon at least twice a week.
Anyway, it seemed ok to consider an apple as a separate poll choice vs melons.
Warm raspberry pie à la Mode.
Sure, it’s contraindicated with my diabetes, but if anything’s worth a below-knee amputation, it’s warm raspberry pie à la Mode.
No more different than French silk pie is from cherry pie, or chocolate layer cake is from white angel food cake, or peppermint discs are from Snickers bars.
Just.
Yes, that’s for after the cheese. Armagnac or calvados for me, please. Never took to port, and why drink cognac when you can get Armagnac?
Almost any raw fruit except bananas which I loathe. I’m not much of a dessert person.
Assuming tiramisu is cake, I went cake.
Ice cream, so, other.
mmm
Ice cream.
I didn’t see Pie or Ice Cream on the list.
Which means the poll is about as accurate as this one:
What is your favorite dessert?
() Wood
() Cat
() Grass
() Virus
() Cement
Cannoli. But only if it’s done right. Creme brulee, done right, is a close second. If I’m dealing with a chef of unknown competency, brownies and vanilla ice cream. Those have a pretty high floor. Chocolate cake is the brownie’s inferior cousin. Come at me.
I chose fruit.
I like them all, but my nutritionist might be lurking, shhhhhh.
