A really good meal means we leave full and happy, but it doesn’t end with the entree. Sometimes the part of a meal we look forward to most is also the most decadent – dessert. While we generally begin our meal with an appetizer or a salad or a bowl of soup, we don’t always have to follow that tradition.
