i'm still confused about the whole sweet savory thing. i like sweet and savory. i think it's just b/c americans don't usually use the word savory unless they are talking about something that is just generally delicious. does savory mean salty? or does it just mean "not sweet"?
oh ok. so it' not that americans don't like a sweet/ savory contrast. we just don't use the same language to describe it.
Taken from wikipedia savoury is the final course of a traditional British formal meal, following the sweet pudding or dessert course. The Savoury is designed to clear the palate before the Port is served. It generally consists of salty and plain elements. Typical savouries might be: * Scotch woodcock * Welsh rabbit * Sardines on toast * Angels on horseback * Devils on horseback ___________________________________ It's not salty... it's more.. heavy. ugh... someone else speak up here. I'm only a canadian that lived in the uk for two years. Please help!! Sinking fast.... lol
I've never heard of savoury as a course. Its more to do with the flavours like, chocolate is sweet and fries are savoury
From google; a list of definition for savory. I noticed their are spelling discrepancies so I also looked up savoury and it yielded the same list of definitions. Both are correct but it was spelled savory within the definitions. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...:official&hs=QVH&q=define:savoury&btnG=Search - any of several aromatic herbs or subshrubs of the genus Satureja having spikes of flowers attractive to bees - dwarf aromatic shrub of Mediterranean regions - morally wholesome or acceptable; "a past that was scarcely savory" - either of two aromatic herbs of the mint family - piquant: having an agreeably pungent taste - an aromatic or spicy dish served at the end of dinner or as an hors d'oeuvre - mouth-watering: pleasing to the sense of taste I see the term very often in menus in nicer restaurants here in the US. The term is associated with the definition in bold the most in America. A steak to me would be savory or mashed potatoes. Something wholesome, filling, thick, filled with protein, and fat. That's what I think of when I hear savory... And by definition it is correct, but variation in usage apparently varies geographically. I some places savoury is a course...but still the savoury course still fits the definition in bold...lol :cheers2:
super size me was good too. fast food nation, the movie, wasn't as good as I thought it would be. (Still good just not great.) I am sure the book is MUCH better and more informative for sure.
yeah I didn't know it was a book :0 I'll have to find it, since I generally like the book version of movies more anyway...
dont really like those movies much, they are good informative and stuff but somehow I dont like the feeling of doom you get from them... with the exception of "Y tu cuanto cuesta?" mostly cause I admire Olallo Rubio y think the movie is called "so whats your cost" in english tis good
