eating is wrong

Hamburger

You're missing out on so much. If I ever lose my sense of smell I would just kill myself

>tfw never taste cheesecake again
> No thanks

what do you normally eat? what makes some foods more appealing to others if you don't have the taste factor?

youre missing out on a lot to be honest. The first food I'd make you try would be a dinner of a good mix of things, like rice, fish, vegetables, fruit, and some tea. the next day id take you to mcdonalds, then to different ethnic restaurants, and finally I'd trick you into eating bird seed

You poor bastard.
At least you can eat durian without throwing up from the stench?

What a lie. I was born without a sense a smell also. I can taste things fine. I just have trouble tasting differences in candy and juices.

you think you can taste, but you're only discerning the differnces between sweet, salty, sour, and savory, which the tongue is capable of doing on its own.

What you're not picking up is the other half of flavor which is aroma.

Well that isn't considering tasting by definition.

Enjoy the health benefits of spicy as fuck peppers that would destroy the mouths of novices and lesser men

capsaicin activates the pain and heat receptors of the mouth directly without the need for you to be able to taste it. It would be just as uncomfortable to eat them even if you could taste nothing at all.

Passes through the same segment of the brain nigger, it's tasting. You're missing out on the vast majority of what taste is. Explaining what you're missing to you would be like describing color to a blind man.

To the "no smell" people:

Question. Are you fat? Have you been fat? Do you eat a lot? Do you enjoy eating?

You're basically missing an aurora borealis for your tongue.

If you ever get the chance to taste, I reccomend trying warm peach crumble with vanilla bean ice cream for sweet, bacon bleu cheese burger for salty, mint lemonade for sour, and and country fried steak with mashed potatoes, gravy and sauteed beet greens for savory

Damn nigga I can't smell either but I can taste stuff for the most part.

Anosmia fuck here, I'm a fatass and I like eating too much.

>>5560333
>tfw lost a good chunk of my smell
>can't really smell the food in front of me (unless it's a really strong smell)
>still can taste
feels gud man

>>5560333

Is not that I can't smell things at all but in order for me to detect it it has to be a really strong smell or it has to be right in front of my (I only notice a light burnt smell when the bread I'm toasting is completely black) but I can taste very well. I can't imagine how much it must suck not being able to taste at all. I feel for you OP; I'd suggest to try a Porterhouse steak, life doesn't get any better

in front of me*

You don't understand. Without the distraction of smell, your mind is free to touch the Zen of pure flavour!

I am not missing out on the majority of tasting. Its retarded to say I only think I'm tasting. The sense of smell doesn't contribute as much as you think.

I assure you that I have researched this far more than the two minutes it took you to look up that single fact.

If I couldn't taste anything I would solely eat based off texture which I do not. You are not an expert on the subject buddy.

I have an incredibly weak sense of smell, but a very very strong sense of taste. To the point where I can more effectively taste the air than smell it.

Like a snake?

So you're saying he should try some LSD?

>>5561482
Fuck top lel, all he needs is some LSD

>>5561624
I guess, kinda.

>>5561109
I enjoy eating a lot. I am constantly trying new foods. That's why I love cooking. It allows me to experience new things.

I'm not fat though.

>>5560481
>all of the anal burning without any of the delicious spicy taste!

Smell is only part of the tasting experience.

Why dont your tastebuds work?

>>5560333

i'm so sorry if i were you i'd probably kill myself thats how i feel whenever i get a cold and i lose my sense of taste/smell

>>5560481
