Fat Has A Flavour!

According to some scientists in Australia humans do not in fact have just 5 flavours that they can detect as previously believed. Apparently humans can also taste fat, adding to the collection including, sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. The scientist simply call the new flavour “fat” but I think they should be more creative, I think they should call it “yummy”.
