Irresistible?
Hi! everyone, could you tell me,is this right way to use "irresistible"? I have always seen a noun after the word "irresistible"
such as-:Whenever I see chocolate cake I got an irresistible urge(noun) to eat". Or T-Shirts that are irresistible to men(noun)..
but in this sentence (I read it on web)-: We make food which is fun to make and irresistible to eat.(verb). Is "to eat"="to hunger" here?
Please help me understand this words usage?
Thanks!

Thanks! Sir for answering.
Sir I saw in the synonyms of irresistible that "invincible" is also included in them,so can I use invincible like that-
"This dish is invincible to eat"

No, invincible refers to the unbeatableness of a warrior. Superman is invincible; so was Genghis Khan.
