We had quite the opposite experience, however the food was overwhelmingly salty, which kept us from going back.

on Pho... I think the great thing about Pho is the changing tastes that go on throughout the meal as you add a bit of this and that every few mouthfuls. A hearty squeeze of tangy citrus or a generous sprig of fragrant basil, a...

less. I wanted to order chicken cacciatore, but they had no chicken on the bone, only boneless breasts (always this way?), so settled on lasagna, which was not horrible, but not good. Sauces were overly salty. A cappeline with...

and the original McDonald’s fries because of their unique flavors. One from the combination of “spread” and long grilled onions melting into a thick slice of cheese along with GREASE. The other because of the...

Agree that it’s rather salty. You definitely can’t make a whole meal out of just the chicken; you have to eat bread with it.

stock it was cooked in... much like how sea cucumber gets all the flavor form the sauces.. If I recall, it is uaually cooked in a broth (cured ham gives the body and saltiness of the soup or chicken...), as well as other dry goods...

kind of place — a “let's open our own place and do it right” place. Took a New Yorker there yesterday for a crispy salty dreamy pepperoni pizza (I never even used to LIKE pepperoni), and he agreed — it was...

I suspect that that statement is complete bunk, or perhaps wishful thinking. We are wired by and large to enjoy sweet, salty, fatty foods, and they are popular in most cultures where they are available, whether or not fast food...

, crisp, cold, salty etc – a stunning combination. Also, the lime perfectly complemented the sweetness in the wine – it turned out to be a perfect match for this course!!!!!! This is why we pay $200! The next course was...

slathered with rich tomatoey salsa and salty cheese that was plunked on the table, but was disappointed in the selection of antojitos for starters. Based on this one meal, I much prefer Monte Alban, where I find the flavors to be...

We taste salty, sweet, bitter and sour with our tongue. We taste umami with our mouths. Everything else we taste with our noses. (Excuse me while I wipe off the whipped cream off the tip of mine.) ;-)

complete right. The Comte was served with an Arbois, which I had never drunk before and confused with a sherry, because it has a nutty flavor, a sweet slightly burnt nose even though it was completely dry. It matched the nutty,...

...the most work you have to do for an elegant appetiter is wrap a slice of pancetta around the fresh figs you are about to grill. Sweet, salty, and rich all in the same 2 bites!

is when I wake up in the middle of the night, I sometimes crave a nibble of something sweet, as I mentioned in another post). I, however crave salty fat food (like chips, fries, popcorn as did my mother). My husband, who is...
