Explain the statement there is one difference between a long life and a good dinner that in the dinner the sweets comes last?

Answer 1

First of all, it's called a metaphor.

Here's the explanation.

In life, all the good things come first; the worst thing comes last: death.

In dinner, all the mild, boring, or just not so tasty things come first: for example (in some opinions) vegetables. Then, there's dessert, the sweet part, which comes last.

The ironic part is the reversal of good and bad, first and last, in life and dinner. They are the same, but different.
