  • To emphasize how delicious a meal was, one might say ਜਾਨ ਵਾਰ ਦਿਆਂ (jān vāra di'āṃ), which means 'I would sacrifice my life for this', a hyperbolic way to show extreme enjoyment.
  • When praising a cook, instead of just using ਸੁਆਦੀ, it is a common cultural gesture to say ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਦੂ ਹੈ (tuhāḍē hānthāṃ vica jādu), meaning 'there is magic in your hands'.
  • If a dish is so delicious that it is addictive, Punjabi speakers might use the word ਨਸ਼ੀਲਾ (naśīlā), which literally means 'intoxicating' or 'narcotic'.
