CHARLESTON RESTAURANTS - TAKE NOTE!

This is a great solutions to one of the most difficult decisions of the meal! Not only is it difficult to decide on which dessert to choose, usually after a meal I am so full I’m only able to eat 1/2 of it any way. Great idea.

Rich: Excellent idea–as you stated in your most recent post (regarding onion breath) it’s all in the name of research! (And someone has to do it, right?)

Mike, the only worry I have using guiness is the fact that it has a sour finish and not sweet. ST. Peters should be available at the Wine Shop. I would even try Ed Fitz porter before guinness… experiment and let all of us know your opinion in the food blog!

Rich: Have desert with your coffee; they go together anytime!

I’ve been mulling over that float you made with Cherry Garcia and Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. Since Youngs is hard to come by in WV, where can one find St. Peter’s Cream Stout? Also, how would that float be if it were made with Guiness Extra Stout? It seems to me all that rich coffee flavor ,chocolate, and cherries might be a good mix, too.

That’s a good idea… You have made me hungry for dessert, but first I have to finish my morning coffee!

Holly: I knew someone, somewhere had to have come up with this. Going with a group, as you suggested, could lead to sensory overload–but I like the idea!

I wish I had thought of this! It makes perfect sense and I KNOW that restaurants would sell lots and lots of the sampler platter. There are many times that I do not order dessert as I cannot decide which one that I want, so I just leave. This man is a GENIUS… Restaurants are you listening?????

Sunset Grill in Nashville TN had a dessert sampler - select 3 of their sinfull choices in reduced portions. Going with a group of 4 - both couples ordered a sampler and everyone had a taste of all the fabulous desserts on the menu!

Great idea…smaller portions of a couple of diffeerent items would satisfy my sweet tooth, and I wouldn’t feel as guilty as I would if I’d eaten that huge brownie. I think this could be popular on any menu.

I wondered if anyone else thought this way, or if I just had an out of control sweet tooth. How many times have you ordered one thing, and your significant other ordered another, just so you could try both. If you ever go to a buffet style restaurant, you’ll notice most people are carrying a desert plate just as diverse as their dinner plate. I agree!
