I've put salt on desserts before I quit eating them. My mother made a batch of German applesauce that was too sweet, and she salted it. That's where I got the idea. If something was too sweet, out came the salt shaker. I've put salt on pie, that applesauce, and ice cream. I finally realized I didn't care for the sweet taste and quit eating dessert.
With a sandwich - Bagel and Pita crisps are pretty good.
Since the kids left, there have been no forms of dessert in the house except the cookies the Vulcan has squirreled away. His favorite now is homemade corn bread with Nutella on it.
Don't you have an organic market where you live? Sometimes they will carry produce that other stores consider out of season. Maybe they would have sweet potatoes or yams.
BTW - sweet potato is an old nickname for an ocarina.
