The idea

Crisp, soft, smooth, chunky and chewy describe different experiences. Using these words can make an ingredient or preparation question more precise than asking only whether a dish is good. They also help explain why two items with similar ingredients may appeal to different guests.

A practical next step

When ordering for someone else, ask which texture they enjoy before choosing an unfamiliar dish on their behalf.
