My father in law was easy to please when it came to dessert. The only things he
really liked were ice cream and chocolate sauce or apple pie (warm) with ice
cream. I heard many times about the time they had dinner at a friend's house
and the wife served lemon meringue pie. He didn't like it, but trying to be a
good guest he raved about it. Bad move. Because he had raved about it so much
she served it every time they ate there.
