tangy en · ADJ
Pronunciation
- /ˈtæŋiː/
- (Southern-England) audio
Etymology
From tang + -y.
Meanings
-
Having a sharp, pungent flavor.
Christmas queen Mary Berry's aubergine five-nut roast, from her Christmas Collection, is, as the name suggests, rather more focused on the nut side of things. Breadcrumbs play second fiddle to a medley of almonds, Brazils, chestnuts, pine nuts and pistachios which, although tangy with lemon juice and garlic, is outrageously dense. A single slice of this could leave you supine in front of the Queen's speech without even the wherewithal to reach for the remote control.
