Now that the title has peaked your interest, I dont mean a dear and beloved person.
I am using the word 'sweet' in its British context in that something that is relatively sweet served as a pudding, in other words a dessert. When I was young every dinner used to be accompanied by a dessert, sometimes as a bribe to make sure you ate the dinner
Nowadays I very rarely have or make a sweet, only if I really fancy something. Might have some fresh fruit but this only occassionally rather than the normal. Probably my taste buds have changed with old age .
I suppose that also in this day and age most people can't be bothered to cook or make a pudding after the necessity of cooking dinner.
How about the rest of you?
