Does anyone know where I can find a history of the savory/sweet distinction in Western

cuisine? It's not an obvious or primary dichotomy, but it is treated as such in many contexts.

Sweetness is a rather straightfoward idea, relating to the flavors of sugars and some alcohols. Savory is sometimes used to describe anything that is not sweet, but seems to be a rather nebulous idea.
