@rek although I understand the word “eatable” I can’t imagine using it. I think I’d use “appetizing”, or in some contexts just “tasty”.

@avi "eatable" is more used to say that something can be eaten but that it isn't exceptional, like:
"what do you think of this bread?"
"meh, it's eatable..."

@rek interesting. Not a usage I’m familiar with. I definitely have heard people say “edible” in that situation (with the exaggerated implication that edible is the best you can say for it).

@rek @avi "How is the food at that restaurant?'

"It's omnomnomnominal"
