Desserts are a guilty pleasure for a lot of people. However, many people don’t have much room for them after eating a big meal. Some people choose to eat dessert first. On the contrary, a lot of people find that it cuts their appetite if eaten before the main course.
Even after filling up on a delicious meal, there is always a little room left in the corner of the stomach. That is where dessert comes in. Room can be made somewhere in the stomach for that divine chocolate cake or succulent cheesecake. A full meal is best served in courses. The key to making enough room with a full course meal is portion size. If the portions are not too big, there will be plenty of room for dessert in the end.
Certain desserts require more room than others. For example a small cookie or two wouldn’t take up much extra room. On the other hand, an apple pie a la mode might be a bit too much to finish. Sharing dessert is a great way to make room without being overstuffed. No matter how large the main course, dessert can always be used to fill in the corners.

There may be numerous reasons why this happens; however, most of the time it is because appetizers enhance the dining experience at a restaurant.
It is absolutely no fun waiting for your meal in a restaurant. Guests sit there waiting, watching the waiters bring food to the tables around. As this happens, your mouth starts watering and your stomach starts churning. By ordering appetizers before your meal, your experience is less distracted by these things. It also offers a way for restaurants to let guests sample certain foods. Many people choose restaurants that offer appetizers because of these reasons.
