Protocol for Serving Dessert Aboard Star Army Starships and Military Installations
Starships
Dessert is to be served with every dinner meal, preferably directly after crew has finished eating the main course. It is important to communicate with the ship's upper echelon to provide the best possible dessert for the crew. If a large amount of crew has nut allergies, for example, choose a dessert item without nuts. If this is not possible due to ingredients available, do your best to ensure you can provide dessert to as many crew as possible. As a cook aboard a starship your role is vitally important to crew morale and nutrition intake, and failing in one or both areas can lead to terrible disaster. Due to this fact, it is important you prioritize nutrition over taste, though the dessert must be desirable as well. To be an effective Star Army cook you must balance the thin line to ensure your desserts are tasty and nutritious.
Military Installations
Dessert is to be served with ever dinner meal, preferably directly after crew has finished eating the main course. Usually as a cook you must make a menu for the week of what to serve and when. It is best to plan desserts ahead of time and sometimes may require multiple days of preparation. As a cook on a base it is your responsibility to ensure you are providing the best possible nutrients even if personnel are able to leave the base and eat at external dining establishments.
