“Hey, this is very tasty.” (Bryson)

I am quite sure that if you slow-baked, say, an oven glove and covered it sufficiently with ketchup, [my father] would have declared, after a ruminative moment’s chewing, “Hey, this is very tasty.” Good food, in short, was something that was wasted upon him, and my mother labored diligently for years to see that he was never disappointed.
