you mean umami?

>>21427287
Perhaps.

>>21427287
Of course not ESL.

>>21427287
savory = savory
umami = hearty

I don't think hearts have umami.

>>21427284 (OP)
I only use it for legumes and cevapcici.

>>21427287
in this case savoury refers to an herb

I like using it when it's in season. it goes well with poultry

>>21427284 (OP)
Yeah, I use ground savory in all of my cooking. It's my go-to all-around herb for my own ideosyncratic cooking style, like how Greeks use oregano or Mexicans cilantro

>>21427284 (OP)
someone here turned me onto summer savory with a meatball soup recipe if I remember right
I use it in so much stuff now
thanks to that anon

This. Savory is an herb. Savoury is a specific flavour profile. Umami refers to the fifth major taste category.

It's ok. Works well in a few recipes.
>Do you use it
Not after I used up my first purchase of savory. I'll generally just sub a mix of thyme and oregano, since I use those often enough to always keep them on hand.

I used it a few times. It was very underwhelming. It's one of those spices you add, but can't taste in the finished dish.
