Dear members


"Peoples who ate Gordon Ramsays food said their tongue danced"

People who ate Gordon Ramsay 's food said ( that ) their tongue s danced. Yes, the phrase works. However the sentence gives the impression that "my tongue danced" (or something very similar) is literally the phrase that people used to describe the sensation, rather than your description or paraphrase.
