What are some foods that hit all of the basic tastes?

Asked by phaedryx (6129points) July 18th, 2010

By basic tastes, I mean savoriness, saltiness, sweetness, sourness, and bitterness.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste#Basic_tastes

An example food would be ketchup. The common ingredients of ketchup are:

tomatoes – savoriness
vinegar – sourness
corn syrup – sweetness
salt – saltiness
natural flavors – bitterness
