Etymology
The word 'mealy' originally derives from the Old English term 'meal', which refers to a finely ground substance, particularly flour or the powdery residue from grinding grains. Over time, the term adapted to describe food textures that resemble the powdery consistency of flour. The comparative form 'mealier' evolved to articulate distinctions in texture among various foods, particularly those that have a drier, grainy feel. This linguistic transformation reflects the way language evolves to meet the needs of description in culinary contexts, allowing for nuanced discussions about the qualities of food.
