summer & winter savory (Wikipedia articles link/box)

umami

[edit]

I believe savory is used to refer to the taste now identified as a "fifth" basic taste, called umami. Perhaps this definition should be added.

[edit]

For OED the pairs savoury / unsavoury and sensible / insensible are Words that look like opposites, but aren’t --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
