Can’t blame you, the inventor of the word ā€œumamiā€ actually had the word mean roughly ā€œtasty-flavoredā€ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami#Etymology

But on a more helpful definition, it’s supposed to be a broth-like taste

Umami - Wikipedia

@warandpeas I thought ā€œsavoryā€ described it best if you’re looking for a single word description.
@rjschutten @warandpeas "meaty", I think. It's the thick chunky hearty flavour you get from stews and MSG.
@naught101 @warandpeas ā€œmeaty" sounds good too! Now I'm hungry! I love me some umami flavor!
@warandpeas (And now I have the ā€œBitter Sweet Symphony" dong in my mind…)
@warandpeas Okay, but what about "Home salty home"? XD
@warandpeas if I told you the key flavor is "bile" then it wouldn't have the same pizzazz

@warandpeas

Umami! I’ve come to bargain…

@warandpeas What happened to "HOME SALTY HOME"? Was it censored out?
@warandpeas What is umami? The best goddamn flavor in existence. That's what.
