>It has a very CLEAN taste and whatnot what does this term

>>8619552
"Clean", with my experience of coffee at least, means a lighter taste with little to no lingering aftertaste. The flavor can be somewhat complex, but easy to discern, not several flavors trying to overpower each-other washing everything out.

This and, in the context of more processed foods (specifically dairy products), you can taste the cleanliness of plant and even the conditions in which the cow was raised. Yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, milk... they can all have this dingy, dirty flavor.

You taste the main ingredients, nothing else. So, with that ice cream taster, a clean bite will give the creaminess of the dairy, vanilla bean, and sugar. Nothing saccharine or metallic, no off flavors, no one ingredient overpowering the rest.

If it tastes clean like that after warming, aerating, and covering all 9,000 taste buds...that's a ten.

Quality standards tell me to hate Häagen-Dazs because they use so much vanilla in their vanilla ice cream you can taste the goddamn alcohol used to make the extract.
The al/ck/ in me tells me it's delicious even if it is a 'defect'.

And thanks for the gif, mate. That's a keeper.

It's not tainted by anything that detracts from the products actual flavor.

That's why I always make my girl wash her ass thoroughly before I start to eat it. Gotta be clean so that I can appreciate its natural flavor.

And for the record, Edy's vanilla isn't a 'ten' by quality standards because it tastes like molasses because they USE MOLASSES and that shit is a 'foreign flavor'.

Whatta cuck.

What does earthy mean?

I've seen it used on everything from peanuts to beef.

whenever i buy stuff directly from the farmer's market in the summertime instead of buying it in the supermarket, i am surprised how much better the food i make tastes. most noticeably with fresh produce from the market (or my grandparent's garden).
whenever i eat something and think to myself "that's how this is supposed to taste", that's what describes a clean taste best for me.

A lack of any particular aftertaste

'Earthy' = dirt. Like the smell of patchouli is earthy. It sounds unappetizing when it's put frankly, but it really can be a positive.

The flavors are sharp and not muddled.
