Umami doesn't even exist. It's a lie Asians tell that we play along with so they feel like they discovered something. I asked chat gpt wtf it was. Convo went something like this. 'what is umami' 'meaty, savoury tastes' 'how exactly can something taste 'meaty'? I understand it can taste like A meat like chicken..but how can something taste like all meats?' 'meaty tastes are what we call things that are savoury and umami in tastes' 'but what is umami'?' 'savoury, meaty tastes' Is umami' just the same as savoury? 'no it's different' This went on until the ai broke and wouldn't let me ask anymore. Umami is a scam.
This is what I got when I asked ... Umami is the savory, brothy, or meaty taste that rounds out the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. It translates to "pleasant savory taste" in Japanese and was actually discovered by a Japanese scientist in the early 20th century! Here are some key things to know about umami: It's a distinct taste: Unlike "savory," which can sometimes overlap with salty, umami is a unique taste sensation detected by specific receptors on your tongue. It comes from glutamates and nucleotides: These naturally occurring compounds are found in various foods, like: Glutamate: Present in meat, fish, aged cheeses, tomatoes, mushrooms, and seaweed. Inosinate: Found primarily in meat and fish. Guanylate: Mostly present in mushrooms, vegetables, and certain seafood. It enhances other flavors: While not particularly strong on its own, umami adds depth and complexity to other tastes, making food more delicious. MSG is not the only source: Although monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a well-known umami flavor enhancer, it's just one way to experience this taste. Natural sources like the ones mentioned above are more common. So, next time you enjoy a rich broth, a delicious tomato sauce, or a perfectly cooked piece of meat, remember that you're not just tasting sweetness, saltiness, or sourness - you're also experiencing the delightful depth of umami!
@@canthinkofaname4 fake! 'its a completely new taste that's unlike anything else because it's salty and meaty and savoury' Msg is monosodiumglutamate,and it literally just tastes like salt. It's an Asian lie.
@@TwiggyJack he was on last season and it just stunk. Undeniably hard. He sucks, he always has. He also talked shit on mike after his stinker of an ep, and I hope and pray that was enough for Mike to learn his lesson and never put him on again.
