The Shabbaton dinner (I did not pick the menu) featured, among other things, a cold apple strudel as a side dish.
Most of us were kinda bemused. I think there are places for sweetish dishes (note my sweet potato kugel) as side dishes, or even main dishes, such as midle eastern lamb stew, but I do agree that I prefer most sweets to be after dinner.
It may also be, in part, a family thing. There are regions in Eastern Europe, for example, that like very sweet "savory" dishes, such as gefilte fish. I have to look for unsweetened frozen logs.
