savory dishes
Main course fare
Savory dishes are foods that are flavorful and seasoned rather than sweet—main courses, appetizers, and sides as opposed to desserts.
The distinction organizes menus and cookbooks: The cookbook is divided into savory dishes and sweets.
A savory dish emphasizes salt, herbs, spices, or umami flavors over sugar.
