For French class we have to make a menu for a restaurant.

I'm not exactly sure what to call my dessert section. Dessert is a boring word, and apparently, a cognate. I could call it "plat de apres diner" but that is also kind of odd.

Any suggestions?

I could ask someone I know who spent years in France immersed in stuff like this. I'll see what she comes up with.

All right, Clau, I've talked to her. She said that a fancy word that is used on recipe programs (I'm guessing she means television shows and the like) would be 'entremet'. She also said that it used to be used for a type of porridge served between meals, but the meaning has somewhat changed. Your French teacher might not know what you're talking about if you use it. though.

She did say that 'dessert' is used most commonly, so it might just be best to go with that.

Thanks I suppose I'll just stick to 'dessert'.
