Dessert Sauces
Dessert is a course that concludes a meal; the course consists of sweet foods, such as cake, biscuit, ice cream, and possibly a beverage, such as dessert wine or liqueur. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts. In some parts of the world, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal. Historically, the dessert course consisted entirely of foods 'from the storeroom' (''de l’office''), including fresh, stewed, preserved, and dried fruits; nuts; cheese and other dairy dishes; dry biscuits (cookies) and wafers; and ices and ice creams. Sweet dishes from the kitchen, such as freshly prepared pastries, meringues, custards, puddings, and baked fruits, were served in the entremets course, not in the dessert course. By the 20th century, though, sweet entremets had come to be included among the desserts. The modern term ''dessert'' can apply to many sweets, including fruit, custards, gelatins, puddings, biscuits, cookies, macaro ...

It was usually made with creed wheat boiled with either milk or broth and was a peasant staple. More luxurious recipes included Egg (food), eggs, almonds, Zante currant, currants, sugar, saffron, and orange flower water. Frumenty was served with meat as a pottage, traditionally with venison or even porpoise (considered a "fish" and therefore appropriate for Lent).

In England History Florence White (writer), Florence White, founder of the English Folk Cookery Association, wrote in ''Good Things in England'' (1932) that frumenty is England's "oldest national dish".
