While most of the information about history of "the four tastes" and discovery of the 5th is probably known to most of you, I especially enjoyed the authors' conclusion that there is much to be learned from artists (in this case, chefs) whose sensibility is such that they can discover things pure science cannot.

Read/listen to it here.

Excellent article, thanks moosnsqrl.

Now I'm craving my favorite umami source - marmite.
