A dessert or after-dinner delicacy served at the end of an ancient Greek meal or banquet.
From Greek 'apo-' (after) + 'deipnon' (dinner), singular form of the term for courses served after the main meal in classical symposia.
Ancient Greeks had entire philosophies about how to conduct a proper meal—the 'apodeipnon' wasn't just food, it was part of a carefully choreographed social and intellectual event.
