I’ve used “delicious”, “deliciosity”, “yummy” and “scrumdiliumptious”.  I don’t know how to continue expressing the quality of these meals without consulting a thesaurus, being redundant or sounding blasé.

I was a very, very picky eater growing up.  Over the last few years of living with a chef and having gourmet meals cooked at the office I have greatly expanded my culinary horizons.

When I first started working at Table XI, I didn’t eat seafood.  It’s a taste I just never acquired.  Over the last year Ellen has worked in a steady rotation of fish and shrimp and though I sometimes do so reluctantly, I now eat seafood on almost a weekly basis.

I say all this to illustrate the significance of the following statement: I have never devoured fish as quickly as I ate the salmon Ellen cooked for us today.  It was (insert adjective describing immensely pleasurable taste). The fish itself was (another adjective) but the Korean bulgogi glaze pushed it over the top.  Accompanying the salmon was white rice and boc choy with mushrooms.
