I like the word 'umami', but it's weird to me that they don't just use 'savory' which is the same thing. Cool that it's been figured out receptor-wise.
Umami is the fifth flavor. This paper is about the sixth, which doesn't seem to have a name other than "ammonium chloride".
"Solid Ammonium Chloride is used to make dry batteries"
I'll definitely have to try some "sweet and battery" poached eggs.
I can't believe it's not battery!
