What does CURDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Resembling curds; having a lumpy, thickened texture similar to milk that has separated or curdled.
Curdy describes a texture rather than a taste, applying to any substance that has clumped into soft, uneven lumps the way milk does when it curdles. Cooks and food writers use curdy to warn that a sauce or dairy dish has separated unpleasantly instead of staying smooth, a sign that something has gone wrong in preparation. The word can also describe naturally lumpy substances outside cooking, such as certain discharges or deposits noted in older medical writing. Curdy always signals the same visual and textural quality of soft, irregular clumps rather than a smooth, even consistency.
How CURDY is used
Rare in everyday speech, appearing mainly in cooking descriptions and older or technical writing about texture.
