toothsome
Pleasing to eat
Toothsome means delicious or appetizing—pleasing to the taste: a toothsome slice of pie.
The word extends to anything tempting or attractive: a toothsome offer, a toothsome young actor.
Despite its form, toothsome has nothing to do with teeth being visible; it suggests food so good you want to sink your teeth into it.
