Savoury

In a traditional British formal meal, the savory course is the final course, served after the sweet pudding or dessert. This course is designed to cleanse the palate before enjoying a glass of port. Savories are typically salty and uncomplicated, offering a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the dessert.

Some classic savories you might encounter include Scotch woodcock, Welsh rarebit, sardines on toast, angels on horseback, and devils on horseback. These dishes help transition your taste buds from the sugary dessert to the rich flavors of the fortified wine that follows.
