How it's used
Primarily used to describe food that is abundant and high quality, but it extends easily to abstract concepts like life experiences or content. It carries a sense of satisfaction and completeness that goes beyond just having a large quantity of something. When describing meals, it implies a feast or a spread that is impressive to the eye and the palate.
Examples
Tonight's dinner is so sumptuous.
