    Depends on the side of Dublin

    South side might be "OMG that bit of nosebag was Gorge"

    When I was a kid there was no particular slang for food that tasted nice.

    "Lubbly " was about as slangish as I can remember.

    You hear people saying "Savage" quite a bit now in relation to food...or "deadly".

    'delish' would be the most common, I'd say.

    This single of chips is as piquant as the gooter of one's matriarch.

    Never heard that used to describe a tasty meal in all honesty. Rapid, or 'rapah' would usually be used when speaking about a fun place/activity. ie: 'done one of them Shannon cruises last weekend,it was (bleedin) rapah'
    For food, gorgeous or (bleedin) lovely would be normal Dublin parlance. (bleedin) massive can be heard from time to time but it's strictly something women would say,and it's not confined to conversations about food. For example,when talking about an attractive man,you might hear a youngone remark to her friend 'yer man over there is (bleedin) massive' or 'I seen a lovely bag/belt/dress in town today,it was massive'
    Northern slang can't be all put in the same category though as it's a big geographical area and has many different colloquialisms.Derry slang would be different to Belfast slang in the same way as Cork slang would differ to Dublins.

    As kids if we were enjoyed something really, we'd just say 'Ah, that's Bass!'.
    Even back then advertising messed with childrens minds!
