Sapid

Postby LukeJavan8 » Thu May 13, 2010 11:55 am

Sapid:
sapid \SAP-id\, adjective:

1. Having taste or flavor, especially having a strong pleasant flavor.
2. Agreeable to the mind; to one's liking
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."

Better a sapid see bass than a vapid one!

Nice word!

Yes, sort of nice. Yesterday I had rupicoline running around
in my head. Now sapid has taken its place.

I've found some rupicoline climes rather sapid, at times they've become momentarily a little rapid, but never vapid.

Oh Ho!
You're getting poetic again! Be rapid: more, more!
