Tastily and tastefully

Hi all! I've come across two adverbs whose meaning, I guess, is slightly different: tastily and tastefully. Could you give me some examples that make the difference clear?

Hi. The difference between the adverb is the same as the difference between tasty and tasteful. Tasty means delicious and it is used for food.

Hi.

The difference between the adverb is the same as the difference between tasty and tasteful.

Tasty means delicious and it is used for food.

Ex. what a tasty dish.

Tasteful means that you are able to choose good things.

Ex. I am going shopping. I want you to come with me because you are tasteful.

I hope it helps

Thanks, hrsaney! Now I see the difference.

Strange thing, though, is that I googled tastily and I found only the following phrase: a tastily cooked meal. And I don't think that tastily means deliciously, at least in this example.
