    Question #88576. Asked by tragic_flawed. (Nov 15 07 8:41 PM)


    gmackematix

    		Are you referring to "umami", which means meaty or savoury in Japanese?

    Never been quite as well known as the other four tastes has it?

    Sourness
    Sweetness

    Hello everyone! I've always been amused by Doyle's style of writing, especially his dialogue-writing in Holmes stories. So here's a quiz based on that. All you've to do is to identify the short story from which I've extracted the dialogue. Best of luck!
