Perhaps I am being overly pedantic about this...I was mainly trying to say that "delicacies" tends to bring to my mind statements like "in China, pickled pigs' feet are considered a delicacy", or that scene with the eyeball soup in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or something like caviar. I tend to think of eating caviar in a small, carefully savored quantity, rather than, say, gorging myself on jars and jars at a sitting. The video has rather large quantities of, say, cakes and jellybeans and fruits.

Anyway, I'm not trying to argue the point, just to stimulate a bit of discussion. Thanks!
