It's real dude. Add a few dashes of fish sauce to the next savoury thing you make

>> No.10314669

It's both. Real in the sense that the flavour does exist and is caused by activation of a distinct taste receptor. Meme in the sense that the taste receptor literally responds to plain old protein, so anyone who tells you that umami is some mystical, inscrutable fifth taste is just talking out of their ass.

That make sense. However I can taste umami in all sort of things from onions to my wife's armpit so maybe its protein that taste umami and not umami that taste like protein.

I bought a bag of msg and used it in a variety of things. It was no more or less noticeable in a carbonara that's already supposedly very umami due to the parmesan than it was in a stir fry. I couldn't tell the difference at all between when I did use it and when I didn't.

Tastes the best in tomatoes or meat.
