Significado
Commenting positively on food taste.
Contexto cultural
It is common to say 'Mahlzeit' or 'Guten Appetit' before eating. Saying 'Das schmeckt gut' during the meal is a sign of respect to the cook. In Austria, you might hear 'Das schmeckt ur-gut', where 'ur' is a prefix used like 'very' or 'extremely'. Germans are direct. If something doesn't taste good, they might say 'Das schmeckt mir nicht so gut' rather than pretending to like it.
Add 'sehr'
Adding 'sehr' (very) makes the compliment sound more sincere.
Don't say 'Ich bin gut'
If someone asks how the food is, 'Ich bin gut' means 'I am a good person', not 'The food is good'.
