Summary Food: Delicious Science is the scientific story of the food on your plate. Michael Mosley and James Wong present a celebration of the physics, chemistry, and biology that lies hidden inside every bite. Together they travel the world and take over the UK's leading food lab as they deconstruct our favorite meals, taking us inside the food, right down to the molecular level. In this episode, Michael and James explore how the marriage between chemistry and biology is the root of all the sensations, tastes, and flavors that we enjoy in our food. Michael begins by deconstructing a Thai meal. Its effect on the tongue can be reduced down to just five tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and the less well-known umami. Umami is the most recently discovered of all the tastes. It's a Japanese word that translates as 'pleasant savory taste.' By the end of their journey through flavor, they reveal that taste is far more than just being delicious-it's a matter of survival.
