Word of the Day - 2/20/2008

Degust

To degust is to taste or savor carefully or appreciatively.

Before administering his blessing, Isaac wished to first degust a fresh, home cooked meal(Genesis 27:3-5).It appears a preoccupation with food ran in the patriarchal family as Esau was rooked first out of his birthright by his own appetite (Genesis 25) and then his blessing by his father’s (Genesis 27). His brother Jacob’s duplicity did not help the cause either.
