[ME Michaud]

You are correct!

To add to the mix, I object to the way some people pronounce this word.
Some people say long-e delicious, some people say dullicious (I've heard
Martha Stewart say this, among others). Dullicious drives me nuts (because
it's one of those sounds that negates the meaning of the word).
