Japanese as a language hasn't existed for that long, loser.

What a jejune post.

>remember when umami was called "savoury"

Umami was never called savoury.
Savoury is a flavour, umami is a basic taste.

We use umami instead of shoehorning savoury to mean something it never was in recognition of the scientific efforts made by Japan to prove that it is a basic taste when centuries of European cuisine dismissed it as a flavour.

You played yourself

In English we say savoury. Weebs and pretentious twats need stabbed.

I thought it was just a pretentious way for people to feel artistic by saying umami and savory but I guess it is a distinct taste. Poached chicken will taste savory but chicken that's been browned has a different kind of savoriness that you can also find in mushrooms, soy sauce, etc.
