Hannah and the science of taste
I really enjoyed Hannah's article on "Flavor: What We Thought We Knew Is Wrong". I was a great tool in explaining to my boyfriend why our tastes differ in certain instances.
For example: When I tell him that I enjoy an earthy flavour (like mushrooms or beets) he says "explain, I don't know what you mean". And I'm not much of a writer so, the best answer I could give him was "I like the taste of dirt, okay?!"
What are your favourite 'basic tastes' (if there is such a thing), and how do you describe them?
