| Jul 25, 2012 at 8:06 | comment | added | Ariel | @SethJ If you are eating desert for that reason then sure. But I think you are in the minority, and also - is that why you eat it? Or is that a side effect? I think in times past the last food the was eaten was not "desert" as we understand it today. It was food that was eaten to clean the mouth (before the days of toothbrushes). This food was been incorrectly translated as desert. So if the source says that the bracha is added if you are eating the food to "clean the palate", then to extrapolate from that to all deserts is wrong. | |
| Jul 24, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | Seth J | @Ariel, are you sure "clean the palate" means the same thing today that it used to mean? I know that when I eat dessert, one effect it has is that it cleans my palate - my mouth feels refreshed after a heavy meal, especially when dessert is fresh fruit. | |

| Jul 24, 2012 at 1:59 | comment | added | Ariel | @AvrohomYitzchok You said it only applies to food eaten to "clean the palate" - don't extrapolate from that! In modern times it's rare to eat food that way (the only time I've heard of it is with wine tasting where they will eat some crackers, especially Matzah, in between wines, not as food, but to remove residual taste). If you are eating the fruit (or any desert) as food (as most people do), it's a completely different category. | |
