Another one might be 'Atonement'. There are dinner scenes and the ending of the novel is deeply influenced by the events that occur around those times. The dinner situations help in building up the complex relationships among the characters which are then resolved in the ending.
One great 'after dinner mysteries novel' is 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' by Agatha Christie. It's full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end.
To make the ending satisfying, the loose ends should be tied up. For instance, if there were mysteries or conflicts introduced during the dinner, they should be resolved. If a character was suspected of something, by the end of the dinner, the truth should be out.
It can create a mood of reflection. As the characters sit around the dinner table, there are often memories and retrospections that happen. This can lead to an ending that is both poignant and thought - provoking, like in some family - saga novels where the family members gather for a final dinner and look back on their lives together, leading to an ending full of emotions and self - discovery.
One possible dinner - related fanfiction could be a story where a character is preparing a special dinner and uses lemon to add a zesty flavor to a fish dish. Maybe in a cooking competition within the fanfiction world.
I think there could be a fanfic where the characters are at a dinner party in a historical setting, like in the Victorian era. They start a game of cards and make a bet that has significant consequences for their social standing or relationships. The story could explore how the bet unfolds during the dinner party, with the rules of the game adding tension and the social norms of the era adding more complexity to the situation. You should try different search engines with those keywords to find relevant fanfics.
Sure. Once, my family was having dinner and my little brother tried to eat a whole piece of steak in one go. His cheeks puffed out like a little chipmunk and he couldn't chew properly. He just sat there with this ridiculous look on his face until he finally managed to swallow it bit by bit.
I'm not sure of a specific novel titled exactly like that. But 'The Snowman' by Jo Nesbø has a very interesting ending related to a snowman. It's a thriller where the snowman has a significant role in the plot's development and the ending is quite unexpected.

Here's another. After a big dinner at a restaurant, we were waiting for the bill. The waiter came over with a tray that had a small bowl on it. He said it was complimentary mints. But as he was walking towards us, he tripped a little and the mints went flying all over the table. We all burst out laughing and he was so embarrassed that he ended up bringing us a whole new bowl of mints.
