Wherin someone, a chef, or a gourmand maybe, makes a sign by placing finger and thumb tips together next to smoochy lips to indicate that something is delicious?
WAG: it mimics the act of placing something in your mouth?
According to this article :
Andrea de Jorio, a 19th-century Neapolitan cleric-turned-anthropologist, did. In 1832, he wrote a groundbreaking lexicon of Italian hand gestures that was little known outside Italy until Adam Kendon, an anthropologist and expert in gesture communication, translated it into English.
Perfetto (Perfect, perfection)
Fingertips drawn together and carried to the mouth, which is disposed as if for giving a kiss. The lips are held tightly closed, pushed forward a little. The fingers are brought close to them, but do not quite touch, and then they are moved away, as in throwing a kiss. The eyes, however, must be opened wide, indicating surprise, and after giving the kiss, the hand is opened, and then returned to any position one likes.
Thanks, makes sense. Throwing a kiss for the food.
