Is a chicken nugget dipped in barbecue sauce umami?

>> No.10962346

Probably

Depends on the ingredients

mcnugget with mcdonalds barbecue sauce

If umami is 'complementary flavors' then a barbecue chicken wing dipped in blue cheese sauce is umami. It's even more umami than a sauceless chicken wing dipped in honey mustard sauce, or even a buffalo wing dipped ranch.

depends on the barbecue sauce. a chicken nugget alone is umami as fuck, but adding the combination of flavors in a sauce can definitely change the overall experience

Smoke (umami), cooked tomatoes (umami), sugar (sweet), spices (umami or spicy) salt.

Yes. But a rather weak source of umami. Chicken especially now that it's all white meat is relatively bland and by far the biggest flavor present will be salt.

Amazing how so many people are yet to get their heads around the fact that it isn't.

No, umami ( 旨味 ) is a beautiful word that means "the feeling of a thousand flavour bristles gently caressing ones tongue while the wind blows behind you." Savoury doesn't capture the elegance and exquisiteness of the Japanese language

Literal translations fail to capture context and true meaning. That's why we don't just do literal translations back and forth between languages. Retard.

obivously not
but chicken nuggets themselves are umami

>> No.10963246

>>10962520
no it's not
also translations are unreliable, they are merely crutches to at least understand something, just maybe an overall kind of direction of general meaning maybe at most if you're lucky

Okay I made the Japanese language shitpost and the truth is it's pretty close to a literal translation. It comes from 旨 - umai = delicious + 味 - mi - taste. Literal translations in many contexts are insufficient but savoury is pretty close
