(of food) to be really tasty and require not much chewing
What is the origin of the idiom "melt in one's mouth" and when to use it?
The idiom "melt in one's mouth" is used to describe food or, in a broader sense, anything that is exceptionally tender, delicate, or delicious, often to the point where it seems to dissolve or disintegrate as soon as it makes contact with one's mouth. Its origin is not precisely known, but it is likely derived from the idea that when food is so exceptionally well-cooked and tender, it requires very little chewing, and it seemingly disintegrates instantly in the mouth.
