Letter: Dessert brain: What about the cheeseboard?

Published 19 March 2025

From Nick Hunn, London, UK

Could it be that the research on proclivity for dessert focuses too much on sugar? Most restaurants once offered savoury options for this course. That is now mostly just a cheeseboard. I don’t think anyone had issues with having a savoury dessert, which indicates that sugar wasn’t a factor (22 February, p 18).
