I am wrestling with umami, the so called 5th taste. And I think I have her where I want.
It does exist. The University of Miami proved that our tongue has detectors for a substance that was found and identified a century ago in Japan. It has been isolated, termed MSG (monosodium glutamate) and added profusely in several Oriental cuisines. Now I am way to proud to solve any problem with a sprinkler, nor do I believe that it is necessary.
What do mushrooms, tuna, aged cheese, cured pork, sesame, soy-sauce, yesterday's tomato-sauce, and artichoke have in common?
Do you want to learn to please? To send out satisfaction from your kitchen as a private - but still pimpy - puppetmaster? Let me know. I will prepare some short essays on how to serve shameless pleasure on your plates. Of course it would be better to send for me - and any slut would say as much. All I'll do is help you open up another door, one that leads to a more conscious fulfilment of the senses that you always had.
