Tastes Off
Small make up had seen a beautiful play, the hero been samplinging a dish " dark arrange " later, knitting brows to say:

Its flavour is not quite right.
Generally speaking, if when cooking, condiment is put much, or duration holds do not reach the designated position, can have a kind of Tastes Off (flavour is not quite right) feeling, it is euphemistic expression " insipid " a kind of view.
Of course, if you do not think euphemistic, think direct expression an eat is not tasted delicious, can say:
