One thing about me is that I’m always going to at least have a peek at the dessert menu. Even if I’m full, I know that I could definitely make a little room for a sticky toffee pudding or maybe even just a little bit of ice cream.

It just finishes the meal off nicely, y’know?

Why do I have room, though? I couldn’t possibly have another bite of my main meal, my stomach feels full and I am feeling relatively sleepy. All of this points to somebody who has had enough to eat.

And yet. Just a little cake for me, ta.

Why can I always make room for dessert?

Turns out, there is actually science behind this urge.
