Not all of it though. broccoli for instance is gread. It's usually leafy shit that tastes awful.

Spicy isn't even a flavor. It's shit.

>> No.6279558

I'm not sure if I am or not, leaning towards not. While I can usually detect sweet taste in foods where others don't, I can tolerate spicy pretty well.

Plus if I ever was, I probably ruined it by ripping off swollen tastebuds out of irritation of their existence.

I can eat lettuces without retching, so I'm sure I'm not a supertaster. I dated a supertaster, though, who found all lettuces to be unbearably strong-tasting and bitter where I find them to lack much flavour altogether.

But there's actual scientific studies confirming that genes determine how you taste certain things; so foods like cilantro, which are related to poisonous plants, can taste like soap to some people.

But hey, you're an American. Educating yourself is hard. Much easier to shovel cheetos into your face while your sausage-like fingers pound your keyboard, typing opinions on things you know nothing about.

I'm a diagnosed super taster, and all it does is make food taste better. I pity you normals.

Coffee and dark chocolate taste like shit to me though.

must be a recessive thing. somebody in the family was a wrecked-by-cilantro carrier.

>> No.6279900

>>6279790
all the science i've seen with regard to not tasting cilantro is that it's a genetic defect in your ability to smell.
since you can't smell the plant, it tastes off.

but hey, you're free to pick and choose whichever pseudoscience makes you feel better about yourself.

>> No.6279902

That's wrong, taste is done mostly by smell.

>> No.6279992

>>6279875
I used to have that problem. You just gotta try finding the right things to use it in, anon. Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian foods all make really good use of cilantro, it's a good place to start if you want to like it.

>> No.6279997

Super-taster, and professional cook. Life is awful. I'm not sure where you get them, but they make little paper blotter strips. You put them on your tongue. Supertasters will taste bitter hell, regulars will taste nothing, that's how I found out.

>> No.6280017

>>6279329
I don't get this. I've smoked for 10 years and I can taste the shit out of everything. Trying to eat with a non- smoking friend who probably has no buds really brings me down because he can't really taste anything, or smell/hear anything for that matter.

I didn't know I could identify it this way, but apparently I am a supertaster.

I don't get some of the posts, though; I like spicy and I like bitter foods and drinks.

Sort of.

To test whether or not you're a supertaster, you're meant to lick a postage stamp that has flavours extracted from cos/romaine and iceberg lettuces. A lot of people can detect the bitterness in cos/romaine to some degree, but not everyone. Only supertasters can detect the bitterness in iceberg. I can't really taste the bitterness in iceberg, but I find the slight bitterness in cos to be pleasant. My ex found cos unbearably bitter, iceberg minimally so and therefore liked neither though was an avid coffee enthusiast.

Iceberg bothers me only a little, unless it is picked late, when it is bitter as fuck. romaine is for horses, I can't fucking stand it

I've got into the habit of making a crude dressing for shit tier leaves like iceberg and baby gem.
Family buy it all the time, tastes bitter as fuck to me.
Recipe is simple, it's just mayo, vinegar, pepper, salt and a little dash of golden syrup.

Kinda like sweet salad cream, I guess.

Pretty sure the study you're thinking of actually suggested people who hate cilantro can taste something we can't.
