Flavor profile

Not all sweet is honey, but all honey is sweet, yet we don't have a flavor called "honey" we have a flavor called "sweet". So why don't people say savory?

because they're weeaboos who watched anime and fantasize about asia and how good it is

>*sips whisky*
>Mmm, what delicious hints orange zest and nutmeg, and those delicate earthy undertones if sage

You lying fucking faggot, it tastes like kerosene and you fucking know it

LMAO what does earthy undertones even mean? I thought 'earthy' was just code for 'tastes like shit to me' from Zimmerman using it to describe every culturally spiced turd he eats.

This but unironically

Have you never tasted cumin?

Yeah it tastes like tacos

Considering earthy is used to describe things like Venison and unclean animal bowels, I highly doubt cumin is 'earthy'.

I want to open a Vietnamese/Weeb fusion restaurant called Phuc Umami

>any kind of fucking baby talk like this
When I hear people talk like this, I usually punch myself in the head.

Shut the fuck up, guac boy.

Two reasons:
- Savoury has never been considered a basic taste in western culture, while umami was always a basic taste and Japan spent the latter part of the 20th century proving it scientifically.
We adopted umami as a basic taste in recognition of that scientific proof.
- Savoury and umami are not directly analogous anyway, so translating umami as savoury is incorrect.

Those words confuse me and it sounds like you're insulting the west. Why do liberals hate civilization?

All this proves is that even culinary science can be turned towards evil goals.

>adopting foreign words is evil

Chile con carne?
