Can We Retire the Word 'Toothsome' Already?

Posted by Zach Brooks, January 22, 2009

Seriously... if I see it in one more blog posting I'm going to flip out.

I know it's hard to come up with a ton of different words to describe food- but enough already. Can you imagine using the word "toothsome" when talking to a friend about how perfectly something was prepared? No, you can't. Because they'd laugh in your face (and would be correct in doing so.)

Anybody with me on this?!?!
