Why this answer fits

GOOEY describes something soft or thickly fluid and sticky. A butter tart is a Canadian pastry with a sweet filling commonly made with butter, sugar and egg. Its consistency varies by recipe, so a sticky, soft filling offers one food example of the adjective; not every butter tart has the same texture. This is independently sourced context, not reused publisher prose.
