What are the comparative and superlative forms of savory?

The word "savory" is already an adjective and doesn't have comparative or superlative forms. It doesn't describe something in terms of degree, but rather a quality.

Here's why:

* Meaning: Savory means "having a salty or piquant taste." It's a quality, not a quantity.

* Usage: We don't say "more savory" or "most savory" to describe a taste.

To express varying degrees of saltiness or piquantness, you would use other words:

* More salty: "The soup is saltier than I expected."

* Most salty: "This is the saltiest food I've ever tasted."

* More pungent: "The cheese has a more pungent flavor this time."

* Most pungent: "That spice is the most pungent in the market."
