Dainties
1:
dainties, delicious sweets, delicacies, and confections generally served at the tables of kings (Gen. 49:20). While such foods were not viewed as inherently unfavorable just because they appeal to one’s appetite (Job 33:20; Rev. 18:14), the prudent Israelite was to avoid eating them at the table of unscrupulous persons whose intentions might be harmful (Ps. 141:4; Prov. 23:3, 6).
