I am watching that Four Weddings show and that was how the one bride
described the food at another bride's wedding. To me, bland would be lack
of any seasoning or severe underseasoning. The foods that they showed were
some kind of seafood in a shell...it was so bad that nobody could tell what
it was supposed to be... Chicken, lamb and roasted potatoes. I suppose to
me that bland would also apply to specific foods. Like mashed potatoes with
no salt. Dried beans with no salt. Or foods that you might expect to have
some heat to them but winds up not having any. Like salsa, some Mexican
foods, chili, or other ethnic foods that usually contain a lot of spices. I
could see calling a food too salty. But I can't see how too salty could be
bland. What does bland mean to you?
