"Umami",Paste

[devilbliss]

(5th sense) Umami paste in cooking has anybody tried this new additive

[mollykins]

umami is meant to be a creamy, mushroomy taste isn't it? i'd like to try it, but have we still not got a word for it?

Waitrose should be stocking it now, in a tube called Taste No.5.

It is made of:
Tomato purée
Garlic
Anchovy Paste (anchovies, salt, sunflower oil)
Black Olive
Balsamic Vinegar
Porcini mushrooms
Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Vinegar
Sugar
Salt

[hundreddolla]

It roughly translates to the English word "savory". We don't have a word for it 'yet'? I suppose in the same way we don't have a word for 'nonchalance" yet.

unconcerned, indifferent
