Constraint n°067

The Backwards Dinner

Dessert first. Starter next. Main course last. Nothing else changes.

Serve dessert first. Then the starter. The main course last. Nothing else changes in the meal. Observe what the reversal does to the conversation and the appetite.

Instructions

  1. Invite at least one other person. Prepare a full meal with a starter, main course, and dessert.
  2. At the table, serve dessert first... without explanation if you want to keep the surprise.
  3. Observe the reactions. Eat normally, but in reverse order.
  4. Continue with the starter. Then the main course.
  5. After the meal, discuss what the order changed... the taste, the conversation, the appetite.

Variants

Serve all courses at the same time on the table. Everyone eats in whatever order they choose.

Also reverse the cooking process... start with what is normally eaten last, cook it first.
