No no, pungent doesn't necessarily refer to a bad small, just a strong one. |

pungent is penetratingly bad. it overcomes obstacles, and forces its way into notice.
sour just is not pleasant, but can be avoided. |
first 3 or right.. these 2 are wrong |

false.
well, actually, I take that back. They're not all-encompassing. I meant more to point out what differentiates them. Those are not complete definitions. |

I think I found out how I can make the distinction between tasty and savoury now.
But, if pungent refers to strong smells in general... hmm... bleh, I'll just combine the definitions and write them instead of picking just a word :p
Thanks, guys :)

Savoury can also be compared inversely to 'sweet'
As in "I don't really like sweet food, I much prefer 'savoury'" |

Well, I had looked these words up on the dictionary before asking... and these are the definitions I found: flavoursome
having good flavour or a lot of flavour:
flavoursome wine
tasty
1 describes food which has a strong and very pleasant flavour:
This soup is very tasty.
2 INFORMAL describes someone who is very sexually attractive
savoury
1 Savoury food is salty or spicy and not sweet in taste:
savoury dumplings/pancakes
2 If you say that something is not savoury, you mean that it is not pleasant or socially acceptable:
That hotel doesn't have a very savoury reputation. I don't know if that is of any help because I had to ask you guys about the definitions even though I had read these a zillion times :D
Edit: That's from Cambridge's Online Dictionary, by the way. |

the flavor of a nice, juicy steak is commonly referred to as 'savoury.'
'tasty' would more accurately describe a nice batch of pettifors. |

Hmm, no. Not really.
It becomes about context there.
Savoury (food) is like the opposite(ish) of sweet.
Savoury (general) is something that is 'liked'.
Edit: I love how retarded English can be. |
