Description

We suddenly felt we don’t speak enough about food on our podcast. We learned ‘ta’im’ -- tasty -- but its root, tet-ayin-mem, makes up a whole family of culinary terms aching to be used.   Looking for the full Hebrew version of this episode? You'll find it on Patreon.   New words and expressions: Ta'im lecha, ta'im lach, ta'im lachem – Is it tasty (for you)? – טעים לךָ? טעים לךְ? טעים לכם?
