       When I hear someone use the word "Umami" when discussing cooking, I immediately discount everything else they have to say.Sorry not sorry, they've been co-opted.You're not Japanese and this isn't Japan.Don't recite to me what you heard from some chink youtube foodtainment show.It's "savory"

       @eriner I get the pushback, but umami isn’t just “savory.” Savory is broad—anything not sweet. Umami is specific: the taste of glutamates, like in MSG, aged cheese, or soy sauce. It adds depth, richness, a mouth-filling quality. Even Western desserts like cheesecake, salted caramel, and dark chocolate can have umami notes. It’s not a trend—it’s real, and it matters.

       @eriner it is basically the taste of MSG, whether natural e.g. parmesan or artificial. translated from jap as "deliciousness" which is not helpful 🙂

       @wy7usa @eriner Maybe “funky” would be more accurate than “savory”but less triggering to Matt.
