Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word "postre" covers everything from fruit and yogurt to cakes, flan, or even sweet bread. When you talk about taste, native speakers usually say "está bueno" (or "está rico") rather than "es bueno". Also, the accent on "qué" is essential; without it the sentence becomes a statement (que).
