There is A-tasters and B-tasters, most B-tasters, our taste-organs is still under development. There is Four kinds of Basic-Taste, without You wont get whats called 'umami'. (full-fill) let the natural taste of things present them selfe. 'Hunger is the best Cook', when We are real hungry, We 'taste' with Stomach, Not mouth.
If Asians don't use similar flavor compounds, why is their food so delicious?
Still thinking about the time I paired (canned) mandarin orange with homemade Aioli (don't judge too much, I only used it to clean the Bowl) I'm still convinced that it actually tasted not bad ...
What about contrast rather than flavor overlap? In my head the theory is similar, but a bit extended. I envision it like a giant color wheel. It is known that both adjacent colors tend to match well *and* the "most opposite" ones, complementary colors. Things tend to clash, though when they are too "in-between". Could there be such a thing as complementary/opposite flavors?
Same here with seafood! It feels barbaric cracking open the food to eat it😂
So interesting! I want to use this site and the cultural nuances are super interesting
I’ve been watching a lot of Top Chef and cant stop thinking about this video!
There are some classic combinations that most people like or love, but a few people really dislike. Chocolate and mint: common in candy, but I know of a few people who can’t tolerate it. Peppermint or spearmint are used in some savory dishes in Turkey and a few other places, but…
Sea bugs creem me out too.
Thanks
