deliciously
In savory fashion
Deliciously means in a way that tastes wonderful: The sauce was deliciously rich.
Beyond food, it describes anything that gives intense pleasure or satisfaction: deliciously wicked gossip, deliciously ironic.
The extended sense suggests something enjoyably indulgent, often with a hint of the forbidden or transgressive.
