the only course you have a separate stomach for, scientifically and shamelessly
means The sweet course served at the end of a meal — cake, pie, ice cream, and their delicious kin.
from From the French 'desservir,' literally 'to un-serve' or 'to clear the table' — the dish that arrives once everything else has been swept away. (Note: it's a different word from 'desert,' the dry place, and 'deserts' as in 'just deserts,' which comes from 'deserve' — all distant cousins worth keeping straight to spare yourself a spelling-bee tragedy.)
