English term or phrase: texture
The checf is preparing "mashed potatoes with parmesan cheese" and he describs the dish saying:

"It's full of falvour and texture"

What is the Arabic translation of "texture" here?

I thought of "غني بالنكهات وسميك القوام" but I'm not sure coz I haven't heard "it's full of texture"

Thanks.

فضلت في البداية أن أضع تعبير المذاق للدلالة على القوام لأنَّ اللسان يشعر بغنى القوام، وإذا كنت تتمسكين بالمعنى المباشر فقد وضعت اقتراحين مع استعمال القوام

Asker: Do you have any reference that "texture" can mean مذاق? That would be helpful. Thanks
