So... four "traditional" tastes, plus umami, and now fat. And some
suggest that we also have a receptor that detects "soapiness" in foods.
I'm pretty sure I have a single-malt detector.

Thanks for posting this. DH says it's the mouthfeel of the fat, but it
has a distinctive taste, whether butter or shortening.
