Umami, the so-called 5th taste, is described as savory, meaty, mouth-watering. Umami taste sensors are said to be in the center of the palate, surrounded by the other 4 taste sensors for salty, sweet, sour, and bitter.
Which makes me wonder: Maybe the savory life so many of us crave can only be attained by balancing the salty, sweet, sour, and bitter aspects of living?
umami life
i am sick of
the cold, metallic taste
of unwarranted fear
in my mouth.
i spit it out
in favor of
a hot-blooded,
adrenaline-spiced
passion.
a flavor
that never fails
to make my mouth water
cheers,
k
