My wife's family likes to eat it immediately but my family always waits at least an hour for the food to settle. Which do you prefer?

I like it later, not because I'm too full of the meal, but because it allows my family time to sit and relax and talk and enjoy each others company before we plow into whatever yummy thing we decided to have. Oh and the digesting aspect too. LOL
But then there are those hurried days that I think I would rather forgo dinner and just have the dessert! =)

it depends. There are times when I like to eat dessert after a meal. Other times, I like to walk around a little bit and let my stomach settle.
All in all, I don't really care. Just as long as I get dessert, I am a happy camper.

You need to wait for several reasons.
1.) You need to clean up dinner dishes. More people apt to help if they know they'll get dessert quicker.
2.) Too full from dinner to appreciate dessert right away.
3.) Can relax with dessert knowing everything else is taken cared of...

Usually I prefer to eat dessert right away, but sometimes it tastes better if I wait a little while. The whole delayed gratification thing.

I wait. I hate that uncomfortable feeling plus, the more you shove in at one time, you increase your chances of heartburn & acid reflux. Unless I only eat a little bit of dinner just SO I can eat, dessert, I usually just wait. Its not going anywhere.

Depends, if I go to a restaurant then it pretty much has to be right after the meal. Otherwise I prefer it a little later so I don't feel like I am going to explode.

I don`t eat dessert. But when I go to Dairy Queen it is usually right after a meal.

If I'm at home or over someone else's house I wait an hour. But if I'm at a restaurant I order after my meal.

Depends on how full my tummy is, when it's a family dinner, my mom and I will clean up first and do dishes then we'll have it. SO I guess we do wait about 30 mins. before we dig in to sweets.
