The problem with this logic is that it assumes recognizing a word from a language implies disproportional obsession with that culture.

I've been to 29 countries, including Japan. You've never traveled more than 50 miles from your birthplace.

except that's wrong, you moron. All of those words don't mean the same thing.

Savory is an actual herb. It has a specific taste. It's applied more broadly to mean earthy, seasoned flavors.
Umami is the flavor of complex proteins. This mostly refers to "meatiness" but it arises in other situations, like fermented soya in soy sauce and tofu, or in mushrooms.
Poached salmon with rosemary garlic butter is savory.
Medium rare lambchops with only salt to season are not.

Sorry, I assumed you were smart enough to realize we were talking about the flavor and not the herb. When people are talking about "balls" with respect to sports do you suddenly blurt in and ask why they are discussing dancing?

Oh, I forgot that when you're wearing internet-argument-glasses phrases like "can be" are changed to "MOST CERTAINLY DEFINITELY 100% OF THE TIME."

You could have at least quoted the entire paragraph:

>This particular writing was chosen by Professor Kikunae Ikeda from umai (うまい) "delicious" and mi (味) "taste". The kanji 旨味 are used for a more general sense of a food as delicious.

You're right. We need to pay attention to all the nuances of the nip language. It's not just a savory taste, it's a very specific KIND of PLEASANT SAVORY TASTE. It's different than the less pleasant savory taste, the savory taste of Japanese semen, and the savory taste of your turds after eating sushi and pocky.

>> No.5433061

>>5433055

it is a specific kind of savoury taste. the wikipedia article goes on to explain what kind of savoury taste that is.

you can have a savoury dish with relatively low quantities of umami. savoury is not limited to umami. umami does not simply mean 'savoury'. why you interpret this distinction as a fanatical endorsement of japanese culture i do not know.

It's specifically glutamate and protein taste. I think of buttermilk biscuits as savory, and mushrooms as umami. I guess meat and fungus is umami, and breads/cheeses are savory. So the correct thing to say is that it's a sub-category. Every rose is a flower, but now every flower is a rose.

It's like... you ever met someone that loves everyone? "WOW, that's a cool shirt! I LOVE YOU!"

"wow, can i borrow a pencil? WOW THANKS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"

throwing it around like that, diminishes the value. Stop calling everything organic, umami, and just stop being focused on buzzwords, labels, cliques and other shit.

I'm going to pet each chicken and sing it lullabies in the morning, and tuck it in at night. Each chicken will have a First, Middle, and Last name and every time they lay eggs, i will mark who's egg that is.

So when you get your $12 dollar dozen of eggs, itll tell you exactly which chicken it came from.
> oh, wow! It's a batch of Chalupa Batmans! Those are my favorite.

so, how does that sound? would you pay $12 bucks a dozen for eggs? I'll even include a photo with your chicken, so you can see what your $12 dollars bought. Over 80% of the profits will go directly into a chicken owned trust fund, to ensure future generations.

First off. I only posted 4 replies before leaving. 9 hours ago. I originally posted this because of the following.

I work fulltime at a Univ in the middle of Missouri (note this). In the past 2 years they put in a "sushi" joint in our food court. They close over the summer. As well as the gaming center.

Today two neckbeards walked by my office complaining about how the gaming center was closed, and how they can't get any of "dat sushi so good and umami". FUCK THAT

This is why I posted what I did. Yes, if you can find the distinction between "savoury" and "umami" all the more to you. BUT NO. if some fucking neckbeards say that some cheap as shit horrible ass 2 day old sushi tastes so "UMOOOMMMY". Then fuck them.

And don't say that this is a shit post thread. There is at least 2 tacobell breakfast threads, a pink slime thread, at least 3 pizza threads, cracker barrell, and some anti-vegan bullshit going on.
