Grape juice, walnuts, parmesan cheese, mushrooms, and anchovies all have one thing in common. It’s known as our 5th taste: umami! Associated with a savory or seared meat flavor, combined with a miso soup salty taste, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact sensation. Find out the history behind this complex flavor while learning how to make the ultimate umami pizza. Originating in Japan, the term umami translates to delicious and taste.

*_this might offend my purist Italian friends, but one time I mixed msg in my marinara sauce before adding it to my pizza. and it was just amazing._*

@cjaquilino 2 года назад

They'd might hate you for that and yet add achovies to a sauce and parmigiano reggiano to finish off of pasta dish. It's all the same flavor.

One little thing: When there's negative experiences, it's a nocebo effect, not a placebo. Y'know, cause placebo would be latin for "I will like".

@lelrond 4 года назад

Like/please are both valid translations. The "shall" would be wrong, though. It implies a conjunctive, but "-bo" is the simple future form.

@solchapeau6343 3 года назад

That may be true in Latin, but we are using the adopted usage of that word in English which means "seeing a result without receiving an actual treatment or drug".

@lelrond 3 года назад

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo

@lelrond 3 года назад

Look I get it, words can change meaning, but the scientific term for this particular effect is nocebo.

@xinpengli943 3 года назад

May be the term behind all these misconceptions is entercountering confounding variables? People thought MSG is bad for their body but the cause may just be that restaurants put MSG into meals made out of rotten ingredients to boost up the flavor and cover the rotten smell or taste. So, I think what she wanted to imply was it is not the MSG that is bad for the body, it is the meal itself (a confounding variable)

The best pizza is a cheese pizza - to understand the raw flavor profile you're taking in to begin with. Then I try pepperoni and mushies, if I'm trying somewhere new a second time around. My favorite combo altogether is pepperoni mushroom black olive and jalepeño, idc where its from its always a good 4 top.

Spicy isn't a taste its a pain and heat experienced by eating foods with "capsaicin" substance

there are no tastebuds for spicy. if you rub some crushed fresh chilis on your arm, you can feel the heat but if you rub some sugar, you won't feel anything, maybe just a bit sticky

@GnanaPrakash86AP 2 года назад

Wait hot is not considered a taste? Also, there's another taste that I do not know the word for in English. It's the taste you feel when you typically eat unripened fruit or sometimes vegetables too.

@johnangeloperez9866 2 года назад

I thought of it and I remembered the word in our language. so here it is: Mapakla rootword: pakla flavor associated with certain fruit when unripe mapakla having the taste of fruit that has yet to ripen other source: [adjective] bitter-sour; sharp (taste); tart; acrid; bitter P.S. no direct translation in English. and I don't know why I got excited searching it and share the info.

@GnanaPrakash86AP 2 года назад

@@johnangeloperez9866 Haha thank you! It's sometimes puzzling how the native English speakers don't get confused trying to describe these missing or confusing words for tastes.

@johnangeloperez9866 2 года назад

@@GnanaPrakash86AP @Videogame Antics maybe English people hate the taste so much that they don't even want to give it a name, that or the translation is like "tart or tartness", but the tart we are thinking is sweet or savory that the word itself doesn't fit anymore. let us just not eat unripe fruits so we don't need to describe it to English speakers. 😅😆

@3possumsinatrenchcoat 4 года назад

Not gonna lie, the first time they started going on about umami on the food network I thought they were making up some new fad word nonsense. I think mostly because it felt like a switch just flipped and they went from never having mentioned it before ever to every dang judge on every show going on and on about it.

@carolinefroyd 4 года назад

@@bill_the_butcher Actually, science behind umami is a bit more complex than explanation in this video. I studied about this in detail at uni in molecular physiology class. There is no reason for general public to dig that deep into this topic and science, so "umami" isn't a popular word, but it is certanly not made up. It's a legitimate taste, just very hard to describe.

umami makes me sick, idk if anyone else feels the same, as a kid I hated tomatoes and certain cheese types because they made me sick, I have always felt like vomiting after eating too much (not like bad on stomach, the aftertaste was so disgusting), I got sick eating double quarterpounder with cheese and pad-thai (soy sauce...) and then I've learnt about umami, now I feel it every time I eat meat and it's disgusting, for me it tastes very much like sweat

Sorry, msg is most definitely not "a-ok." Please stop passing off dangerous info because you cant be bothered to do even a minor amount of research into the latest science that shows clear health risks. That you fall for the common misconceptions and are unable to grasp the differences between bound and free forms of msg, glutamate, glutamine, l-glutamine (all the different forms naturally occuring in foods), and you consider them all equal, clearly illustrates that you don't understand the subject matter.

They are all the same, once glutamine hits your intestines it will be deamidated and turn to glutamate. The monosodium part is nothing but a counter ion to stabilize the glutamate and disassociates in water leaving free glutamate. It really is simple to see all those molecules you listed are the same once inside the body. But I guess you can't somehow feel special and tell everyone you have a fake sensitivity if you acknowledge any of this.

@benderrodriguez142 4 года назад

Further, the only studies to show correlation between headaches and msg were not properly blinded. Every true double blind study fails to see a link. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4870486/

That and you laughably assume I have a sensitivity to msg simply because I disagree with you. Besides, there are more health risks than just headaches.
