What is Umami even?

Can’t blame you, the inventor of the word “umami” actually had the word mean roughly “tasty-flavored” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami#Etymology

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

@warandpeas I thought “savory” 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 “meaty" sounds good too! Now I'm hungry! I love me some umami flavor!

@warandpeas (And now I have the “Bitter Sweet Symphony" dong in my mind…)

Jizz

@warandpeas where's my salty home

@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

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.
