Please ignore that random string of numbers above. I'm just trying to prove to the site Technorati that I do indeed own my own site :)

I've recently been doing some beef research (well my PhD has to do with lean beef and CVD so technically I've been doing beef research for 4 years now) for an upcoming magazine article and have come across some really interesting info regarding beef and Umani (the new official 5th taste).

Check this out:

When you combine umami-rich foods, it's not like one plus one equals two in terms of flavor,” Zino says. Instead, a 50-50 mixture of two umami compounds can produce eight times as much flavor as either one of the compounds alone. So, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This synergy is part of umami's crave-creating power, and it explains why certain flavors pair so well with beef.

Aged cheeses, bacon, barbecue sauce, mushrooms, red wine, sour cream, soy sauce, tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce are among the top flavors to pair with beef, and they are all rich in umami.

How can you not love synergy? here's the link to the original article.
