I suspect kale and collards can be bitter. Although they can be prepared to be less bitter.

I feel like there are many many fundamental flavours. I can regularly figure out the ingredients of a dish based on what it tastes like.

It seems to be a bit more ambiguous than calling it "fundamental" though.

I don't feel like those are the best group to divide foods into. Although I don't have better groups to suggest.
