In the Spanish language, if you want to call a food bland, you might refer to it as 'insipido.' Learning this gave me a whole new understanding of the English word 'insipid' which I had always figured meant some cancerous awfulness that spreads through a community surreptitiously, wolf-in-sheep's-clothingesque. Really, it just means pretty uninteresting. On the flip side, when something is called 'blanda' in Spanish, it usually refers to something soft.

my dad always used the word insipid to refer to REM and the Grateful Dead. Thanks, Dad.
Hey, real good to see you too this weekend.
I too thought insipid meant something far more extreme than lacking flavor. Now I'm going to have to go and insult people properly. The retro-insults are always a little awkward.
bucky the dog lacks flavor, is that what you are saying?
No.
He is a softy.
