bland and rich would be better examples thoughWould mild and rich (describing food) be considered antonyms?
I don't think that quite fits. As the first answerer said, bland works muhc better.Would mild and rich (describing food) be considered antonyms?
I don't think so. Bland would be an excellent antonym for flavourful which is not necessarily the same as rich, which I would use to describe nourishing or calorific. For example,a French cream sauce is certainly rich but of mild flavour.
I would contrast mild with tangy or spicy, and rich with watery.Would mild and rich (describing food) be considered antonyms?
The dictionary refers to rich as (of food) delectably and perhaps unhealthfully spicy, or sweet and abounding in butter or cream: a rich gravy; a rich pastry. It is more commonly used in reference to something that is sweet, or has lots of butter or cream in it, not spicy. I'd not consider mild as a good antonym for rich.
