Hello, please someone help me: would I be right in writing: delightful meal, delighted meal and delighting meal? And what is the difference? I just think: delightful meal is just a meal which is delightful; delighted and delighting meal is also a meal which is delightful and has been finished, or being at talking time; Am I right?

[Kitosdad]

A delightful meal is the correct description of the meal.

You are delighted to have eaten such a meal.

Delighting is a nonsense of a word.
