A Good Dessert, from Victor Niederhoffer
A good dessert should be the culmination of an extraordinary meal and heighten the enjoyment with something exciting and pleasurable. I like my desserts at the beginning of a meal on the grounds that if something is good, the time for it is now. But I thought I should test if it works. I looked at all days above 2% from close to 4 pm that added another 1/2% in final 15 minutes. 13 observations. Expectations to the morning were very good, but then a hangover for next day's very bad, down a few percent. Happens once a year, not significant. But what are the best desserts? Where do you get them? Scholars say they should be crunchy, textured, fruity, sauced, stand up well for first several bites, complimentary to meal, varied between hot and cold, sweet and sour. Where, what?
