  1. delicious

    That is delicious which affords a gratification at once vivid and delicate to the senses, especially to those of taste and smell; as, delicious fruit; a delicious odor; luscious has a kindred but more fulsome meaning, inclining toward a cloying excess of sweetness or richness. Savory is applied chiefly to cooked food made palatable by spices and condiments. Delightful may be applied to the higher gratifications of sense, as delightful music, but is chiefly used for that which is mental and spiritual. Delicious has a limited use in this way; as, a delicious bit of poetry; the word is sometimes used ironically for some pleasing absurdity; as, this is delicious! Compare DELIGHTFUL.

How to use delicious in a sentence?

  1. Ralph Waldo Emerson:

    If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.

  2. Jennifer Lopez:

    This is why being a business owner, and having actual ownership in companies (not licensing), is so important to me and Alex, especially as Latinos. Its about showing our community, this is what life can be. You can take charge and take ownership. It allows us to have a say in creating things that make peoples lives better and have partners that share our passion for giving back. Because giving back and being there for others is really what matters most , we are happy to be in business with partners who also believe no child should EVER have to go to sleep hungry. Everyone should have access to delicious, nutritious food. This was my favorite moment of the month and its one of the best things weve been able to do.@tillerandhatch#tillerandhatch.

  3. Janita Vermeulen:

  5. Regina Escalante:
