C'était délicieux
"Delicious" is "délicieux" (masculine) or "délicieuse" (feminine) in French.
It all depends on what your describing. If the noun you're describing is masculine or plural (such as french fries [les frites] or cake [le gateaux]) then you use delicieux. If the noun is feminine (such as ice cream [la glace]) you'd use delicieuse.
Do you mean delicious? If so, it is delectable (with an accent grave over the first e, and accent acute over the second), or delicieux.
'Merci pour la nourriture delicieuse' In French, the adjective (describing word, so in this case 'delicious') comes after the noun (in this case the noun is 'food'), which makes it 'nourriture delicieuse' rather than 'delicieuse nourriture'. Because 'nourriture' is a feminine word, the word for delicious is 'delicieuse' rather than 'delicieux' which is what it would be if the word you were describing was masculine, such as if you were saying 'thank you for the delicious bread' it would be, "Merci pour le pain delicieux' because 'pain' is masculine
