appetizing

The city’s appetizing stores, which first appeared in the late 19th century, are a type of delicatessen that only sells products such as smoked and cured fish, dairy and nuts due to kosher law.

“They taste really fresh, and to me, it makes for a much better drink than something that’s canned or jarred, which sometimes can feel a little heavy or less appetizing, personally.”

Here, food is rarely appetizing, but it is always expressive, a kind of edible theater for the gang’s obsessions, failures and pathological self-regard.

So while “bean curd” isn’t necessarily the most appetizing name, the food itself is something to take notice of.

Interestingly enough, Hill-Maini discovered many of these inedible items could be transformed into something with appetizing colors, textures, and flavors.
