3 ms·That's backwards, eatable is the stronger claim that means fit as food while edible just means safe to eat.by Clamchop 6mo agoThat's backwards, eatable is the stronger claim that means fit as food while edible just means safe to eat.IAmBroom 6mo agoPedantic difference; most people would reasonably assume either meant "OK to eat".Clamchop 6mo agoNo more pedantic than the comment I was replying to. My advice would be not to use "eatable" at all because others will just think you're saying edible incorrectly.
