So, how do you put the final punctuation mark on your plate? Vote in the poll and let the food fight begin. Just don’t try all five in one sitting. Or do. We’re not your doctor.
Let’s face it: how you end a meal says more about you than your star sign ever could. Some people gracefully reach for a demitasse of espresso; others go full beast mode and order another round of tacos like it’s an encore. So we’re asking: What’s the best way to end a meal? And no, “leaving before the bill arrives” isn’t one of the options—though it was discussed.
Here are the contenders in our no-holds-barred, post-feast throwdown:
Coffee: The Classic Closer
Smooth, bitter, and socially acceptable at any hour (depending on your caffeine tolerance or your commitment to chaos). Whether it’s a dainty macchiato or a full-bodied pour-over, coffee is the “I have my life together” choice. Bonus points if you swirl it like a villain while plotting your next meal.
Dessert: Sweet, Sinful, and Non-Negotiable
You could be full to your eyeballs—but if someone says “Do you want to split the cheesecake?” and you say no, are you even human? Dessert is indulgence. Dessert is joy. Dessert is saying, “I didn’t come this far for salad.”
A Digestif: For the Sophisticated (or the Unhinged)
Think Amaro, grappa, or that mysterious little something the waiter insists “opens up the stomach.” A digestif is less about aiding digestion and more about flexing your worldly palate. If you know what Fernet-Branca tastes like and still choose it, we salute (and fear) you.
More Food: Because You’re a Legend
Appetizer? Gone. Entrée? Handled. Now you’re looking at the menu like it insulted your mother. A side of fries? One more taco? Screw it—bring the bread basket back. This isn’t gluttony; it’s performance art.
A Nap: Possbly the Only Honest Option
You’ve feasted. You’ve flourished. Now you’re horizontal. A nap isn’t just a way to end a meal—it’s a mic drop. Some say it’s lazy. We say it’s evolution.
