Greetings Blackbird! [sqwaark]
I like "whimsy", but it always makes me think of Jabberwocky's "mimsy", which then transforms itself into "mumsy". Can't have any of that, so I've a slight preference for the whimsical, or even for whimsicality.
"Epicurean" is a nice word, but sadly abused by Epicure being a brand name for stuff in jars (at least here in the UK). Makes me think delicatessens, which is a touch too mundane. I mean, can you see the Romans rushing to the deli to pick up a jar of pickles for the Bacchanalia? Hmmm. Come to think of it..
A word I keep coming back to, but never get much chance to use, is Milliard.
