after dinner selection
Explanation:
As a native English speaker and translator from Bulgarian, I think 'after dinner selection' would be best. It sounds most natural in English. 'After-meal' for example sounds strange to me as a native speaker.

Explanation:
Среща се много често и по този начин. По-кратко и запомнящо се е.

hi hi, now that you comment, i don't find it either! (but i don't have a paper dictionary right now at my place) i was so sure i heard it actually! but -- i don't find a word "aftermeal" either!! hm.. a safe way to deal with the problem might be -- a larger explanation?? something like: the meal was summed up by a serving of cheese......etc? just a thought, don't know if it fits the context..

disagree  Kalinka Hristova: Извинявайте колега, но не съществува подобен ТЕРМИН. Описателен превод също не е уместен, тъй като това е категория в меню. В случая най-добр

Asker: Thank you for your proposal! Would this phrase normally be written out in a menu as "After Dinner Selection"?
