Puddings and Desserts (LITTLE girl once defined)

LITTLE girl once defined desserts as "What you eat after you are through"; which is an excellent description of the heavy desserts often unwisely served after a meal furnishing all the nutriment needed. Desserts of milk and eggs, for instance, should not follow such meals; but, instead, some light dainty like lemon jelly. Mince pie or plum pudding should not "top off" a turkey dinner; better a simple salad and bonbons. When depended upon for their food value, however, custards and milk puddings are especially desirable for children, and for adults to whom eggs and milk are not acceptable in other forms.
