Me: *Knocks on Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV's door*
Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV: *Opens door*
Me: "Trick or treat?!"
Sir Bumble Nockentooten IV: *Closes door in anger and pure frustration and starts to cry*
1. An awful meal.
2. A food that literally tastes fecal.
3. A complex dish made with painstaking care but has catastrophically disappointing flavor.
4. Absolutely not a delicacy
The term is used so as not to offend the cook. Polite society tells us that it is rude to be brutally honest when asked how enjoyable a particular meal was. Polite society also tells us it is rude to correct someone's mispronounciation of a word. So, while you said "defecacy," he or she will think you meant "delicacy" but will be too polite to correct you. You can be honest say the meal tasted like a shit but the cook will believe you loved it. Everybody wins.
Q: "...So, did you like the chocolate-marshmallow & cheese meatloaf I made special just for you?"
Ghetto Delicacy's are delicious treats which are only enjoyable and found in impoverished (Ghetto) areas. They can be honey buns, corn nuts, hot Cheetos, Now and Later, Red Soda, or large pickles sold at local gas stations. Also, Ghetto Delicacy's can be particular neighborhoodrestaurants like Harold's Chicken in Chicago. Or Hillary's rib's in the north suburbs of Illinois.
I'm hungry I think I need to go to Harold's Chicken to enjoy some ghetto delicacy's.
