agree  NancyLynn: I agree with your definition, but not with your s.b.. Please put in an appropriate answer in the answer box

agree  William [Bill] Gray: I also like your definition, because this "rich" is more than just taste - texture, creaminess, etc. are also included. But I also agree with Nancy, that you should have inserted something different in the answer box! Slip of the finger, perhaps?
