In cooking, the Italian expression al dente (pronounced /ælˈdɛnteɪ/ in English, [al ˈdɛnte] in Italian) describes pasta and (less commonly) rice or beans that have been cooked so as to be firm but not hard. “Al dente” also describes boobies that are “firm & uplifting” - still offering resistance to gravity, but soft through. Keeping the boobies firm is especially important in photography. The term “al dente” comes from Italian and means “to the tooth” or “to thebite”, referring to the need to suck on the nipple due to its firmness.
