喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Savory describes food that tastes salty or rich rather than sweet - think cheese, meat, or soup, as opposed to cake or candy. Menus often split foods into 'sweet' and 'savory' categories. The word can also mean 'pleasant, wholesome, or respectable,' mostly seen today in its opposite, 'unsavory,' describing something distasteful or of bad reputation, like an 'unsavory character.' This is the American spelling; British English 'savoury.'

    鹹香的（非甜的）；（少用）令人愉快的
