We had a few friends round for dinner last night, and I set the table as I usually do; this prompted some discussion of where the pudding utensils should have been arranged...

I'd assumed that it was the final course of the meal, thus taking the place of dessert.

I'm not sure what the formalities would be in the shocking case of a meal that finished at the entremet chaud and omitted dessert entirely.

I'd complain loudly to all concerned if I were you. Spoon and fork in hand, drum on the table and chant "We want more" until you get your just desserts.

(NB: This may be a lie)

Which reminds me, I have several people I owe a dinner to (including you) and should really get around to organising something and finding out people's availability.
