We had a great system with our Indian neighbours when I was young: When we occasionally met up to eat together, they made the main dishes and my mum prepared the desserts (we're white British). A perfect combo!

So true lol

I knew where he was going the moment he said dessert. Asian desserts why are the so bad, or are they secretly so good they will not let us westerners know of there existence 🤔

[@varoonnone7159]

We have nice desserts like Rasgullah or Barfi but we don't eat them at the end of meals. They are usually eaten on their own 🤗

[@kills26]

@@varoonnone7159 They would come under the category of sweets, now I would gladly eat them with a nice cup of tea. Or Chai but I wouldn't call them deserts.

Deserts are part of the Western eating traditions. That's why you expect one at the end of a dinner. It's even just service à la russe. Before that, everything was served at once
How do you distinguish sweets from desert? Are there definitive criteria ?

[@kills26]

@@varoonnone7159 You gave two examples Rasgullah and Barfi, they book look lovely and I would eat them. But their wiki entry categorises them as sweets and my gut, no pun intended backs that up.
For me personally the difference between a sweet and a desert is the way in which it is served. Often a desert will be complex, it will require specific cutlery and serving dishes.
But the Rasgullah and Barfi looked like food items I could pick up and easily eat in two bites.
All that said you could call them deserts and I wouldn't lose sleep over it. As you quite correctly point out, there is a difference in eating traditions.
Some people might argue that a pudding isn't a desert. But it's sweet and if your eating it at the end of the meal, I would say that's a desert. But I would caveat it by saying you had pudding for desert as opposed to simply saying you had desert.
I think I'm doing a terrible job of explaining, but really some foods are designed to be deserts, mostly overly complex foods.
Back to the two you listed they look great, but they don't appear to be a dining experience, they just look like food that you can eat and they would taste nice. There is no drama or seduction about them, It's just here is food that is sweet in nature.

I get your point but I do feel it's slightly flawed.
I live in France. I would have an éclair au chocolat from the local bakery but a fondant au chocolat would be served as desert.
One isn't more complex than the other, only the serving is different because one can be carried around and is pastry while the other is not
Rasgullas and Gulab Jamuns are served in liquid syrup and are not very different in complexity and presentation from an île flottante
The distinction between pastry and desert in the west is pretty recent. As indian restaurants are adopting the service à la russe, old sweets are being transformed into deserts. In Indian families though, finishing dinner with a sweet item is still not very much widespread. We don't really get the point
The main difference I see between deserts across cultures are the ingredients. French deserts have butter, north African ones drool in honey and Indian ones are mostly made with milk
Western deserts involve much baking because of the use of flour
Otherwise, I guess it's all a matter of point of view. From your perspective, there are no Chinese or Japanese deserts either.
