The Dessert had my Name on it

We spent a week with friends recently on holiday and visited several places with them. We went to a winery near Denmark, Western Australia and tasted some of their wines. Attached to the winery is the Salt and Pepper restaurant where we had lunch. I always read the dessert menu first as this determines whether I'll order an entrée or mains. I'm not a big eater and sometimes even having an entrée will leave me without enough room for dessert.
I like lighter desserts – something with cream maybe or ice-cream but not stodge. I'm not into stodge. In this case the pannacotta with lemon chilli ice-cream, rhubarb something or other and other bits that I can't remember had my name on it so I just had an entrée then the pannacotta.
Doesn't it look great?

It does look great! I wish I could eat the photo!
I look at the dessert menu first and insist on ordering the dessert and having it served first. Like you, I'm no big eater.
I'm big on dessert though!

@JudyEv regardless of the main course, I always get my dessert served first.

@Jessicalynnt Imagine serving one up - or four up - for a dinner party at home - a dab of this, a bit of that, then a bit of fennel - I couldn't be bothered. :)

@JudyEv I think the closest I've had to pannacotta is flan?

@Marilynda1225 I wouldn't have called it a flan which I thought usually involved pastry. Maybe mousse?

That would be great to see people relishing them too !
Was the dessert called Judy?
I look at desserts too and make sure I have room for them when they are really tempting.
Some have become too health conscious to an extent to starve themselves silly.
They can be real pain when enjoying good food - siva

I totally agree. I try to watch what I eat at home but when I go out, it is NO HOLDS BARRED! But I can only eat so much so I might have entree and dessert - or even just dessert if I think I can get away with it. Sometimes the people we are with might be horrified if I have just dessert so it varies. I think this was called pannacotta which is sort of an egg custard.

@JudyEv Thanks. I was confused as you had mentioned the dessert had your name on it!
I recall the innocent days of yore when people just went hammer and tongs after anything they relished; but caution is the byword now that leave our taste buds starving and listless!
I recall too some regional meals in India had desserts all over! siva
