關於Cuisinart的意思和用法的提問

A: Cuisinart is a brand of kitchen appliance, most famously a food processor (which chops up food).

Delicious usually refers to food, but here they are using it figuratively. Delicious food gives you pleasure, so the cloth on her face gave her pleasure, as if it were delicious food.

"if the shoe were on the other foot" is an idiom that means if you were experiencing something the way that someone or something else was. So, would she buy (believe) the tale (story) this person was selling (telling) if the situation were different.

Gritty is a way to say something is like sand or dirt. If something feels like sand or dirt (small, hard pieces), we describe it as gritty. "The food wasn't mixed well, it was gritty." Grit, the word that it is coming from, is another word for sand or dirt, usually when it appears where it doesn't belong (for example, in a bed or house).

The key here, however, is the phrase "gritty realism," which is a kind of art (literature, film, etc.) that portrays things as they really are, even the really bad stuff. In this sense, gritty means it shows all the parts of a situation, good and bad. So, a TV show may be called a "gritty drama" because it shows all aspects of the story, good and bad.
