A term irritatingly used by chefs to describe anything they're having trouble describing and never the taste of MSG.
It's because it's one of the 5 basics tastes. You can arrive at an umami flavour without adding msg.
Umami is the taste of MSG. It's not "I'm not sure what to say it tastes like, so I'll say umami"
