relish
word
Definition
'Relish' means to enjoy or take great pleasure in something. It can also refer to a type of savory condiment, often pickled, served with food.
Usage & Nuances
'Relish' as a verb is slightly formal and used for savoring experiences, not just food ('relish a challenge'). As a noun for food, it most often refers to pickled dressings, especially in American English. Don't confuse with 'enjoy', which is more casual and universal.
