At the end of the rainbow

Argument in my kitchen:

"There are four tastes. Okay, five, but I only begrudgingly acknowledge 'umami'"

[editor's note: umami is a savory taste]

"There are seven."

"What the hell are the other two?"

"Magic and Luck."

As a wine merchant, and someone qualified by the Ontario Wine Board to do guided tastings, I am able to discuss umami, and its impacts on taste and smell quite thoroughly.

And yet, I remain unconvinced.
