savorless

Lacking any flavor

Savorless means lacking taste or flavor—bland, insipid.

Food that is savorless fails to stimulate the palate: The hospital meal was utterly savorless.

By extension, anything dull or uninteresting: a savorless conversation, savorless prose.

The word is uncommon, with *tasteless* or *bland* preferred in most contexts.
