Umami Paste

[NoMercy]

Has anyone tried this "Taste Explosion"?

[Mick-Talbot]

You?

[DTCwordfan]

No - but it is there in many foodstuffs, mushrooms, truffles, tomatos etc.

[excelsior-1]

i have to confess - i've never heard of it

[NoMercy]

Mick, I bought a tube today. It's supposed to enhance all savoury dishes.

DT, there's a new one out soon which was created with the help of that Nobu chap.

[DTCwordfan]

it#s the fifth taste sense and was isolated in Japan hence the name.

"To loathe the taste, of sweetness, whereof a little
More than a little is by much too much."

(William Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part I)

[boxtops]

what does it taste of?

[Mosaic]

Check what's in it.
Blended baby whale?....delicious but so very wrong

[Mamyalynne]

Oh my !! I did not know you could buy it, on my list.

[Mick-Talbot]

it tastes of umani , boxy

[DTCwordfan]

its that rich meaty taste one gets when you add an umami based product to a dish, the intensity of flavour, at its worse it is MSG, at its best something like truffles.
