Well, it isn't "my" definition, but thanks for the agrees anyway :-)

I thought there was too much information to fit into the answer box, but I guess I could have put the first few words and then continued below. Sorry!
Peer comment(s):

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?
