Umami

Is it just me or do you want to kill anyone (brutally and slowly) who uses this “word” to describe a flavour.

It's just you. And it's a flavour, tho not one that's made it to your thumbless shithole.

Do you place a y after every noun when cooking under your live laugh love picture that hangs over your magnet stove when describing your coming like lemony chocolatey herby yummy

Cooking. But could be coming

Is that what Vic Reeves used to say on Shooting Stars?

Oh risky, who hurt you?

What is the flavour supposed to be — something like marmite or mushrooms or miso sauce?

There are existing words for it

its a non word

interesting it reminds you of arsehole though

What is the exiting word?

Just here to abuse risky

Hth

"I don't get umami" feels like a brexity opinion.

I particularly enjoy the "we don't need a name for this flavour!" before going on to identify a diverse range of foodstuffs that have the taste. Assume they don't like "sour" or "sweet" and just claim all sweet things taste sugar and all sour tastes lemon.

"sounds foreign, isn't it just marmite?"

Brexit encapsulated.

I imagine much of risky's diet is pretty salty...

"escargot? I'll just eat cockles sun, no need for that filth"

What do rakes taste of?

din’t ‘ave umami in the 70s just chips and beans square meal on the table eaten as a family

never did us any harm turned out FINE

Salty tears and bitter rakes. Sad.

Oooooomaaaaaaammmmmyyyyyy.

Never heard of it. And what Terry Tate says.

In 1985, the term umami was recognized as the scientific term to describe the taste of glutamates and nucleotides at the first Umami International Symposium in Hawaii.

All suspicions confirmed

riskysknee is bitter about umami because his mami didn't give him enough hugs as a child.

Cheese and Onion (1957)

Salt and Vinegar (1967)

We tried to stem the tide.

this sums it up. Pretentious word used by twots who can’t express themselves precisely

Ahh well, a person I've neve heard of with a wordpress blog is irrefutable evidence. You win.

Before umami we had Jilly Goolden. Like cat sick on a warm trainer.

I have just made a chicken casserole and the umami flavour is really very nice

Not chicken or savoury, something else. Yes. Umami. That’s the word.

I'm sensing you're someone who eats chicken nuggets for every meal but occasionally switches BBQ sauce or sweet chili for ketchup and then blogs about it.
