甘膳（禪戰反周禮曰膳夫上士二人掌王之膳羞鄭玄曰膳之言善也今時美物曰珍膳言膳夫者食官之長也考聲云五味必佳曰膳說文具食也從肉善聲也經文從食作饍俗字非正體）。

甘膳 (chán-zhàn [fanqie: 禪戰反]; the Zhouli says the royal chef [膳夫] consists of two upper servicemen in charge of the king's cooked meals; Zheng Xuan says 膳 is cognate with shàn [善, good], and fine foods today are called delicacies [珍膳], the royal chef being the head of the dietary officials; Kaosheng says when the five flavors are all excellent it is called 膳; Shuowen jiezi says preparing meals, having 肉 as radical and 善 as phonetic; the sūtra text writes it with 食 as 饍, which is a popular character and not the standard form).
