Heck I am no chemistry major but I could see protiens making many tastes depending on their combination.
Am I wrong?
My wife says it is salty  | |

i thought salty stuff was neutral, water&salts are neutral. acids are sour like lemons or vinegar, bases are i guess bitter, or taste like soap.
whir, im sorry, i didnt mean to totally contradict you but that is what ive always heard
