Lucullan
“Lucullan” (loo-KUHL-un) – from the name of a Roman general famous for his banquets – means rich, magnificent and luxurious.
Example (as used by Jeanne Molli in The New York Times): “When literary groups meet in Paris, they also tend to eat, and during the November rite of book awards, luncheons may reach a Lucullan level.”
