Just Dessert

Cruise Chat tackles the sweeter things onboard the ships – dessert.

• Ice cream can be dated as far back as 3000BC and perhaps was the first “dessert”
• Vanilla, a key ingredient in a lot of desserts, is the pod of a specific type of orchid that grows in Mexico.
• The origin of the word “cake” is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse kaka, which is a baked flour confection sweetened with sugar or honey.
