An acquaintance said it's more about flavor, like taste. Like a delicious dish
I don't know... The whole dialogue is:
Tav: Could I kiss you? Astarion: How could I say no? You are my favourite, after all.
If Tav was telling him he can bite them, then yes, I'd agree, seeing that he'd tasted enemies while fighting with Tav, and they'd certainly be his favourite snack. But with kisses? It really sounds like he's referring to the type of person they are, rather than a meal. He's basicly saying he cannot deny Tav's request because they are the best (for reasons). His other line is: "Oh, I can refuse you nothing".

In my opinion caricaturing evil, flat out, is a devaluing of good. They should be equally appealing to themselves to make it fun to think and play.
Well... seeing what kind of vomit inducing, tooth-rotting, naive storybook the Spawn epilogue party is... I think fairytale moralising is exactly what they're going for right now.
