    I don’t even know what “savory” means. What does that mean. I see it all the time but it means nothing to me.

      Savory is the English term for the fifth flavor, often called umami. Savory foods have a distinct flavor different from salt, sour, bitter, and sweet. Sometimes described as “meaty.” Other high umami foods include soy-based foods and mushrooms.
