I read this sentence from this article:
Some cuts have soft and tender muscles that melt in your mouth, while other cuts are known
for their toughness and leanness.
An excerpt from the other article:
At most times, many people visiting a steakhouse expect tender and soft steak, as it is said to have incredible flavor.
From googling, I know that the ‘tenderness’ indicates the easiness for chewing while softness is something not hard. But I don’t see any difference between ‘soft’ and ‘tender’ when we talk about tasting food. If it is soft, the meat would be tender.
What mouthfeel do we mean when we say the meat is ‘soft and tender’? Is it just to emphasize the tenderness? If it is to emphasize the tenderness, why not just say, ‘it’s very(ultra, really,..) tender’?
