Cibarious

/sɪˈbeɪriəs/ adjective

Relating to, resembling, or used for food, eating, or the consumption of nourishment.

Etymology

From Latin 'cibarius' meaning of or relating to food, plus the English '-ous' suffix, creating an adjective meaning food-related.

Kelly Says

This is an archaic way of saying 'food-related' that sounds much more elegant than the modern term—you might find it in old natural philosophy texts describing the 'cibarious organs' of strange creatures.
