Is this news? I've heard of it regularly for at least 15 years now, from school to casual conversation as well as on TV.

Funny that the map includes garum, a food that hasn't been popular in a couple millennia

Worcestershire sauce is sort of a descendant of it.

Isn't parmesan cheese also a source of Umami?

I'm fuming, actually.

Tomatos are und umami? I am confused. For me they are more... sour?

Das ist doch jedem bekannt.

Was aber wohl unwahr ist, sind die Geschmackszonen auf der Zunge. Ich kann mich auch noch erinnern, wie die Klasse in der Schule etwas ungläubig war, die Lehrerin das aber als Fakt durchgesetzt hat.

Jägerschnitzel.

Maybe it’s a west coast Canada thing I dunno, but people around me talk about umami when it’s context appropriate.

Oh, look, it’s in the fucking dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/umami

What's the British beef extract? I've never heard of such a thing. I know Marmite, though..

Bovril, often consumed in liquid form at football matches, because this country's food food culture has come a long way, but still needs to remember it's roots

Interesting. I've heard of drinking buillon, it used to be a thing around these parts.

Is that part of their "brown sauce" or whatever it is? I'm fairly inexperienced in British cuisine.

[–] j4yt33@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

No, brown sauce is kinda like ketchup without tomatoes
