Sex and nudity in Delicious
Light, non-graphic sexual content and innuendo. Specific moments include a brief kiss between Louise and Manceron, a man groping a woman's bottom, the Duke dropping a blueberry into a woman's cleavage, and several references to prostitution or brothel life (IMDb Parents Guide notes similar incidents). No nudity.
Violence and gore in Delicious
Mild-to-moderate, mostly non-graphic. There are multiple on-screen animal slaughters and dead animals prepared for food (skinned hares, butchered game), chickens that die after being fed poisoned pastries, a drunken horse-fall where Manceron is badly injured, and a physical confrontation with the Duke. Nothing is depicted as graphic gore, but there are realistic injuries and a few disturbing animal-death shots (IMDb notes these scenes).
Language in Delicious
Mild profanity and angry shouting. Characters exchange insults and derisive comments (nobles mocking Manceron), and crowd chanting/jeering occurs during the climax; language is occasional and not pervasive (IMDb lists mild profanity).
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Delicious
Light-to-moderate depiction of alcohol and tobacco. The main character smokes a pipe once on-screen (not glamorized) and several scenes show heavy drinking and reckless drunken behavior used to numb emotional pain (IMDb notes drunkenness).
Mature themes in Delicious
Moderate-to-strong adult themes: class injustice, humiliation of a skilled worker by aristocracy, revenge, social unrest leading to talk of executions and hanging, and references to a past hanging (Louise's husband). These themes are central to the story and include threats of violence and public uprising; they may be upsetting to younger viewers.
