http://www.wordnik.com/lists/words-to-describe-the-taste-of-food.xml This list seeks to address a pet annoyance of mine.

Obviously, there is a demand for words. Lets try and come up with some supply. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/gelatinous Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:32:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/gelatinous
