expression
there's always room for dessert
Proverb used when someone claims to be full but still has appetite for sweets. Literally 'sweet things go in a separate stomach'.
「もうお腹いっぱい」と言いながら、ケーキを見ると「甘い物は別腹」と言って食べ始めた。
Even after saying 'I'm full,' when she saw the cake she said 'there's always room for dessert' and started eating.
A common Japanese proverb. The exact origin is uncertain, but it reflects the cultural notion that sweets are enjoyed separately from a main meal.
