What is also interesting that I've experienced, and a few of my friends have told me they've experienced, is that when given some medicated eye drops it can be tasted in the back of the throat. The first time it happened to me I thought it was very disgusting! It is interesting though that the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are connected.<br /><br />The video in this post was interesting. I always wondered why the same foods taste different to different people. Before this class I never heard of "super tasters".awilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972830528211270214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322018507256276685.post-11115004251318050392011-07-09T07:19:40.772-07:002011-07-09T07:19:40.772-07:00While this can be handy for eating foods that one ...While this can be handy for eating foods that one does not like I just found this whole idea fascinating as when I am cooking myself I now know that there are certain basic flavors that I can always play around with. While there are many subtleties, of course, the basic and most strong flavors as above are the things that should be focused on first in order to make a good dish.<br /><br />It is also interesting as on the radio a few weeks ago I heard an interview with a man who essentially had no sense of smell. As he was talking it was very interesting as when he ate food he could only taste things in the above broad categories of bitter, sour, sweet, and salty. That is it! What a bland world he must live in and he even said specifically that food tends to be rather boring for him. Clearly, smell is as important as our tongue when it comes to tasting and enjoying (or not enjoying) foods.John Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402557572595582187noreply@blogger.com
