Mmmmm....tasteeeeee......
Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty, and yes, Umami. These are the five 'basic tastes' more or less agreed upon (for the moment) by taste scientists. Recent advances in molecular genetics have made possible great leaps in understanding taste, and what functions it fulfills. I like taste, it's a very nice sense to have.
