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?
It’s a course, part of a meal but not a whole meal by itself.
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.
It’s neither. It’s the last dish of a meal
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.
I’m gonna blow your fucking mind here, but hear me out: you can also have dessert with breakfast.
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
You can also eat it at the beginning of a meal!
But can you have a dessert with a snack?
Let me blow your mind again: yes, you can have dessert with anything you like.
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.
A drug.
Whether it’s an important medicine for health and wellbeing or a hard recreational drug can depend greatly on the context.
It is apart of a larger meal or can be a snack
Dessert falls under “rule of fork”.
In that if you try to take any I will stab you with one.
Depends on nutritional value. Snack if empty calories, meal if reasonably nutritious. Cake? Snack. Fruit salad? Meal.
I like how preparation is optional in this definition. I could open a few food items, stuff my mouth with shovels of everything and call it a nutritious meal. 🤭
Does this look like a mere mortal snack to you?
This thing has the might to send you to sleep for days.
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.
I’m too ashamed to disagree with you.
My advice is not let the corporate media divide you on superficial concepts between snacks and meals. Reclaim your freedoms. Feed cats more
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.
I was going to ask why it needs to be one or the other.
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.
I say snack. The liminal space between dinner and bed can be a digestif or coffee or tiramisu. But it’s not a proper meal.
meal component
it’s both, a smaller tax applies.
