Sensitivity to gourmet food? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delicacy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'sensitivity' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'gourmet food?' is the second definition.
'delicacy' can be an answer for 'food?' (delicacy is a kind of food). I'm not certain of the 'gourmet' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delicacy that I've seen before include "Tact - tasty food" , "Truffle, perhaps" , "Weakness" , "Nice bit of food" , "Culinary luxury" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
