Ah, yes Umami, the "fifth taste". My favorite examples are red wine, aged cheese and uni.

This recipe sounds so yummy. I can't wait to try it.
Does Tomato Sour Cream soup from Gregoire's (French take out place on Piedmont Ave) count as Zonerific?
Although I doubt anything with the words "sour cream" in the title is "in the zone". le sigh.
