I avoid spicy food, rich desserts, artificial sweetners are bitter to me....perhaps I am a supertaster, hmmm
perhaps children's tastebuds are too "new" and thus overactive. maybe that's why they hate so many foods, and adults seem to like nearly anything.
well, except of course liver.
No! Liver and onions, or liver and bacon taste really good if the liver is cooked properly, i.e., not turned into shoe leather. I just don't eat it anymore because of that "it collects all the toxins" thing. Though, I do eat foie gras occasionally 'cause I can't help it.
I'm pretty sure I'm a supertaster (where do I get one of 'em blue dye thingys?), and I'm really finicky about food. Only problem is I really like the sensory overload I get from sweet and rich food. Which explains the waistline (among other things).
Perhaps I should qualify that a bit. I'm easy to cook for, as I'll try anything. But I'm very finicky about the taste.
If you've put wine in the food, I can taste it. Aspartame instead of sugar? Yep. Hated veggies as a kid, and made myself crunch through loads of it in my teens to acclimatize. Still can't eat lots of fruits (tastes sour and/or bitter), although fresh juice is tolerable if it's very cold.
Foods that pack a wallop
Are delish!
Pickled mango, blazing curry,
Them's my dish!
Salted cod, a kipper strong enough to send ye reeling,
I confess I find all these irresistably appealing.
Highly dubious about this.
Upon further thought I don't believe this for a second.
Ya got the receptors or else ya don't...The nose and the tongue hear a melody or not. Pick your parents with care and enjoy!
Nostrildamus: please elaborate. I haven't made up my mind or anything.
Look!
Up by the Salad Bar!
It's a buffalo wing!
It's Airline food!
It's SuperTaster!
"What's that insignia on his chest?"
"It's a lobster bib."
Oh, I almost forgot...
Faster than a speeding microwave!
More powerful than a Scotch Bonnet Pepper!
Able to leap tall stacks of pancakes in a single gulp!
Able to butter his cocklobster with a single swipe!
