1 sour: "Sour" foods usually have high acid content, such as lemons and limes. This differs from the "bitter" taste which often describes foods such as onions or tonic water. Note the idioms: "sweet and sour" (used for Chinese sauces), "to go sour" (to become unpleasant', for example: The relationship with his wife went sour after he discovered she had a lover.
2 spicy: "Spicy" food is usually high flavoured, piquant or contains a lot of spices. Curries, chili peppers, jalapeno peppers and mustard are considered spicy. Example: Wow, that sure was a spicy curry I just had, my bottom is going to explode.
3 sugary: "Sugary" foods contain high levels of sugar. "Sugary" and "sweet" are usually synonymous. Chocolate cake, and soft drinks such as cola are typically sugary. Another example: The small boy gave me a sugary smile.
4 salty: "Salty" foods contain high levels of salt. Anchovies (a type of small fish), capers (small green plants which are often put on pizzas), and peanuts are typically types of salty food. Example: This soup is very salty, can you replace it please?
5 fatty: "Fatty" foods contain large amounts of "fat". Hamburgers, French fries, and other foods with lots of cream or oils are typically fatty foods. The article states that sugary, salty and fatty foods are linked to obesity. Another example: I was called "fatty" at school because I had a big bottom.
