Umami, is the Japanese word for delicious or yummy....it is one of the 5 basic tastes we recognize....and it is mouth-watering....yummy like a savory meaty or mushroomy broth.....
Green Olives....are also umami....and I love them....I love them....stuffed with stuff....or not....on pizza....or all alone.
another thing that is supposed to be very umami is breast milk...it is supposed to be our first encounter with this brothy taste...I'm not so sure...I've tried it and it is actually quite sweet. I suppose it depends on what the mother is eating...but....I'm not convinced the taste is...umami like...
What is the point of this post? no clue. But I stumbled on umami as a taste when I was reading an article about how different tones affect our taste....for example, apparently....when you are eating chocolate and hear a low tone....the chocolate will taste more bitter.....a high tone will bring out a sweeter taste.....same goes for coffee...look it up.
I guess.....taste isn't just....on your tongue....it is smell....and apparently.....sound shapes taste as well....it's all relative.....experience....sights, smells, tastes, sounds...shape experiences.
but yes...umami....is delicious...and a damn fun word too.
peace...and love....and umami.
