Sweet and Savory

  • August 20, 2023, 11:13am

I hate this word.

I'm a native English speaker (US) and hear this often, for instance "We have a selection of savory snacks available for purchase."

To me this is ambiguous when you consider all the various meanings of the word 'savory'. I know some people assume/presume it just means "non-sweet" but there are a hell of a lot of things that some people would consider savory that have sugar.

BBQ chips, BBQ-flavored beef-jerky both often have tons of sugar in them.
