-- David William Cheever, "Tobacco", The Atlantic, August 1860
I've raved about the elegant and earthy lobster-and-truffle sausage, the sapid sea bass with coarse salt poached in lobster oil, and the indescribably complex and delectable ballottine of lamb stuffed with ground veal, sweet-breads and truffles.
-- James Villas, "Why Taillevent thrives", Town & Country, March 1, 1998
Sapid comes from Latin sapidus, "savory," from sapere, "to taste."

It reminds me of the Donizetti opera, "L'Elisir d'Amore." When Nemorino is buying his first batch of the love potion from Dulcamara he asks, " E il sapore?" Dulcamara responds that ii is "Eccelente." One of my favorites.
