1879: Grace and Assurance
Intermezzo, Palate Cleansers and Fancy Dining
The concept of an "intermezzo" or palate cleanser in fine dining is explored, defined as a small food or beverage served between courses to reset taste buds. The Book of Knowledge identifies fruit sorbet as the most common form due to its sharp citrus and cold temperature. The term is used metaphorically to transition between heavy news segments in the broadcast.
