rapture and flesh

[Fleur de mort]

What's the difference between flesh and meat?
I'd like to know an adjective from this word: rapture!?

can I say: I've always had a rapture when I listen to George.

Flesh and meat mean the same, though they have different origins. They both come from Old English:

Meat = O.E. mete "food, item of food" (contrasted with drink), from P.Gmc. *matiz. Narrower sense of "flesh used as food" is first found c.1300.;

Flesh = O.E. flæsc "flesh, meat," also "near kindred" (a sense now obsolete except in phrase flesh and blood), common W. and N.Gmc. (cf. O.Fris. flesk, M.L.G. vlees, Ger. Fleisch "flesh," O.N. flesk "pork, bacon"), of unknown origin, perhaps from P.Gmc. *flaiskoz-.

Adjective for "raptured" = enraptured >> " I was enraptured by his singing".
