Can I say: "He took a savory bite" to describe how he acted when he bit the hamburger

Can I say: "He took a savory bite" to describe how he acted when he bit the hamburger.

I say no teacher says yes. Have I lost my mind? Help!

He took a savory bite of a cheeseburger.

to me a cheeseburger can be savory but can the action also be savory? thanks


If "bite" refers to a certain quantity of food as opposed to the action, then the bite could indeed be "savory".
