My friend and I were reminiscing about past Regent cruises and our upcoming Voyager trip, and we couldn't remember the name of the small treats served before dessert. Could someone help? Thanks, Andrea

They are called Petit Fours or Mignardises. As you noted, Regent serves them before dessert but most restaurants serve them after dessert.

Either one must be correct. In order to get my diploma from cooking school I had to take a number of required (ugh!) pastry courses. Tiny little bite-sized pastries were always referred to as mignardises (or petits fours)

I can't get enough of those little tarts filled with caramel from Prime 7! Who needs dinner?
