Translation of delikat

Yesterday, I heard a very good example to explain my point: On their journey more than ten years ago, the presidential couple Mr. and Mrs. Clinton visited Egypt. They were welcomed by the president.
They point out eachother's mistake whenever they try to negotiate and approach. Despite a good reason for reconciliation there still exist plenty of prejudices and many have no confidence in the treaty.
Some of the people had invited me for dinner and I joined them. I soon found out that they were eating at their apartment and were cooking by themselves. I found myself peeling raw potatoes.
