Cultural Note
In Brazil, 'gostoso' is the most common word for delicious food, but it has a strong double meaning — it is also widely used as slang for an attractive person ('Ela é muito gostosa'). In Portugal, 'saboroso' or 'delicioso' are safer choices for food, as 'gostoso' sounds distinctly Brazilian and can cause giggles.
