It’s confusing. One dictionary lists tasty as the first definition and good-looking as the second one. Another dictionary reverses the order. I was pretty sure I was going to use a dog/cat showing teeth. When I saw your photo, I figured I was on the right path. Johnny is a good-looking cat eating some tasty food! Win-win. 😹
Merriam-Webster gives delicious etc. as a second definition, Collins as the first definition. And if you ask for a synonym in google only the “tasteful” alternatives pop up. 😊

Merriam-Webster is a US dictionary, Collins is a British English dictionary. I often use the comparison. Maybe it is a BE / AE issue.

Hmmm. I guess it’s the Regency Romances that talk about a “toothsome wench” or guy. Maybe it’s a brit definition.

What is a toothsome wench, though? One with an overbite or one that is appetizing and tempting? 😁

The toothsome guy for me is one I want to gnaw on.

Kitties are always toothsome no matter what. With or without teeth.
