Loosen that Belt

Question that occurred to me a couple of weeks ago: When a waiter or waitress asks if you saved room for dessert, have you ever saved room?

For me, the answer is no. At a restaurant, I'm loading up on the main course. If I really want dessert, I've probably got something cheaper at home. Alex said the same, but said his fiance always saves room for dessert. I asked a few co-workers during a lull in a "team-building exercise", and two of the five indicated they did. Although they also said they had to check the responses of the other people at the table before saying so aloud.

Still, that leaves three for which the answer was apparently no. And overall, I've got 5 "No" and 3 "Yes." So I put it to you, delightful readers, do you save room for dessert?

No, because, to be honest, most places don't do great desserts. Nothing worth the extra cost, anyway.

If there's a place that does do a good dessert then I'm more than likely to have gone there specifically for said dessert, so I probably haven't had the meal anyway.

I like this, you've actually considered the quality of the dessert available. And that makes 6 "no" votes.
