'desserts?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'many rubbish' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'aloadof' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rubbish' becomes 'cobblers' (both can mean nonsense or false information).
'aloadof'+'cobblers'='A LOAD OF COBBLERS'
