THE FIFTH TASTE. “L-glutamate, said Ikeda, is a fifth taste. When Escoffier created veal stock, he was concentrating umami. When Japanese made their dashi, they were doing the same thing. When you bite into an anchovy, they are “like glutamate speedballs. They are pure umami … Aristotle was wrong. Plato was wrong. We have five tastes, not four.”
