[WS:] I did not argue that meat *dishes* do not have any taste - they do, but most of the flavor comes from seasoning. I said that meat itself - that is without any seasoning added to it, including salt - is pretty boring as far as flavor is concerned. Try to cook a slab of meat without adding anything to it, even salt, and see how it tastes.
And it does stink!
