Word of the Day for Tuesday, July 28, 2009sapid \SAP-id\, adjective: 1. Having taste or flavor, especially having a strong pleasant flavor. Chemistry can concentrate the sapid and odorous elements of the peach and the bitter almond into a transparent fluid 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. Sapid comes from Latin sapidus, "savory," from sapere, "to taste." | |||||||||
