Aug 22, 2013 · Aug 22, 2013. #1. Hello teachers, I remember once a British told me "Very delicious food" is correct. He/she also said "more delicious than...." is correct too.

Feb 4, 2016. #2. Not really as "chicken" alone doesn't sound delicious. If you'd said something like "I've cooked chicken in red wine with shallots and baby carrots, I'll serve it in a minute" then the response might be "Sounds delicious!" Last edited: Feb 4, 2016.

Feb 24, 2021 · In general, the noun food is uncountable. And it works much better that way in your example: The food was so delicious that we all asked for more.
