La fondue suisse / délicieux

Hello. Why doesn’t délicieux agree with la fondue suisse? I heard the correct pronunciation in the dictation, but I thought I must have been mistaken, so I wrote délicieuse.

Eileen,  ‘c’était vraiment délicieux ‘.  

The indefinite demonstrative pronoun is the subject of the verb ‘être’ , and is the word being ‘ described/ modified ‘ by the adjective. 

In this construct ( regardless of tense used )  stand-alone adjectives following ‘ c’est ‘ are always masculine.

 Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine
