Viand

Definitions:

Princeton says:
viand (a choice or delicious dish)

Webster says:
1
: an item of food; especially : a choice or tasty dish
2
plural : provisions, food

My input:
simple word today.

Pronunciation: Vi as in violet, vivacious. And sounds like end.  
Webster audio

Synonyms: 
none listed! I'm surprised delicacy or something wasn't listed.

    But, delicacy IS a synonym for it, sort of, right?

    @fang: I would think so, but that's such an obvious synonym that it makes me think maybe not. In the meantime I'll carry on thinking it is a synonym, even though there is evidence to the contrary
