Toothsome
toothsome, adjective: of palatable flavor and pleasing texture
I made pineapple upside down cake last night, and it was not as toothsome as I had hoped it would be. The flavor was good but the texture was mushy, bordering on soggy. My husband did not seem to mind though, because he ate two pieces.
toothsome, adjective: agreeable, attractive, sexually attractive
Well, I never knew that was one of the definitions of toothsome. I suppose one could call Brad Pitt toothsome, or the male ballet dancer who couldn't be on So You Think You Can Dance because of his contract with the Miami Ballet. What a shame. I hear rumors he'll be on next season, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for that.
And, as Lesli reminds us, Johnny Depp is ever toothsome. Happy belated birthday, Johnny Depp.
