Delicatesnoun
Niceties; rareties; that which is choice and dainty.
Etymology: from delicate.
The shepherd’s homely curds,
His cold thin drink, out of his leather bottle,
All which secure and sweetly he enjoys,
Is far beyond a prince’s delicates. William Shakespeare, Henry VI.They their appetites not only feed
With delicates of leaves and marshy weed;
But with thy sickle reap the rankest land,
And minister the blade with bounteous hand. John Dryden, Virgil.With abstinence all delicates he sees,
And can regale himself with toast and cheese. William King, Cookery.
