[Magdalen] New to Me.

An ad for food on USA television used the word "deliciously."
 
I think the sentence was something like "They ate deliciously."
 
A bell went off for me.  I realize I really do not use this adverb,  but
a rush to the handy on-line Merriam-Webster Dictionary proves
that deliciously is a bona fide word.
 
I can't for the life of me put the word into a sentence that sounds
right.
 
I would tend to employ the adjective or noun versions and avoid
deliciously entirely.
 
YMMV.
