My position is that it’s a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it’s a meal or occupies some third food space and it’s entirely hers. Who’s right, court of Lemmy?
dessert is a course of a meal
if consumed outside a meal, its a snack.
its all about context.
Im with you there.
If sweet food is consumed at the end of a dinner/lunch, it’s a dessert to me.
If sweet food is consumed on its own, its a snack to me.

breakfast is the one meal a day you can just only have dessert and get away with it somehow like you don’t have an emotional problem
I have ice cream for dinner because I’m a fucking adult and can do what I want
But can you have a dessert with a snack?

You can also eat it at the beginning of a meal!
I’ll never forget the my second grade teacher, Mrs Tilley, taught us the mnemonic “you only want one desert and two desserts.”
Thanks, ma’am. It serves me still.
I learned that only one S can survive in the desert.
Dessert falls under “rule of fork”.
In that if you try to take any I will stab you with one.
It’s a course, part of a meal but not a whole meal by itself.
My advice is not let the corporate media divide you on superficial concepts between snacks and meals. Reclaim your freedoms. Feed cats more
I was going to ask why it needs to be one or the other.
No no, it’s the globalists, the shadowy cabals, and the mind control by the deep state. We’re falling prey, folks! Anyway, buy my dick enhancing pills.
Its a course served at the end of a meal, typically sweet. If you’re eating outside of that context it’s a snack or a meal depending on how large it is and your specific eating schedule. I think she is probably right that its hers but also maybe wrong if she won’t share a small taste of it with you. Or I would feel wrong not letting my wife at least taste my dessert if she wanted some but I was unwilling to share.
Why are snacks shared but meals are not?
Because when eating a meal she has a fork in her hand and will stab me with it.
Then it would seem the fork is the determining factor in this.
Does this look like a mere mortal snack to you?
This thing has the might to send you to sleep for days.
I’m too ashamed to disagree with you.
That looks pathetic. The cone should be full of ice cream and fudge with whipped cream atop the cone.
With one scoop of icecream? Yeah that’s a snack.
There are a few scoops there, they just conceal them in the glass very well.
It is apart of a larger meal or can be a snack
Quantity, exclusivity, and order of consumption are the determining factors.
A piece of candy after a meal is a treat.
Eating an entire chocolate cake and nothing else is a meal.
Eating a handful of candy is a snack, but could be part of a meal if consumed during, or dessert if consumed after a meal.
Eating a slice of cake and a steak, going back and forth, is a meal that has cake as a portion which could be considered dessert and may indicate mental health issues.
Eating a slice of cake after steak and potatoes is dessert.
Partners have no entitlement to one another’s food being consumed, unless there is no more of it available after. If food is offered in advance and declined, they have no entitlement to it when the food is later present.
It’s neither. It’s the last dish of a meal
I agree with others in that it’s a course and part of a meal.
But when eaten alone, snacks are snacks or meals according to size. If it’s something small that won’t even fill a third of your appetite, in my books, that’s a snack. And in my books, precisely because of scarcity reasons you have less leveraging power to demand tax on a snack.
A drug.
Whether it’s an important medicine for health and wellbeing or a hard recreational drug can depend greatly on the context.
It’s a secret third thing
meal component
