not sure why I never thought of this before, but the tongue is not the *main* taste sensor. I only just realized this when I held my breath when I accidently drank an old cup of coffee and tasted nothing. smell seems to be the most important thing when it comes to taste.
I mean I get that most people know that holding your breath changes the taste but am I wrong thinking most people think the tongue is used as the main taste sensor.
can't tell if I'm retarded or a genius for this observation

Anyone who works on the food industry knows that smell and sight are a huge part of taste. You smell and see your food before you actually put it in your mouth.
That's why at some fancier places they will gussy up a plate with aromatics.
Will, is this what you start thinking about when the family leaves you alone for a few days!?! 😂
just think of what my notes will be like after a week
I can’t wait. Please document the descent on NOSTR for us all to enjoy. 😂
You get a real good experience for the difference when you eat popurrí
Also noise: nothing tastes good in a noisy environment, like airplanes
I don't know if the tongue is the main taste sensor, but I can confirm that you are both retarded and a genius.
a true observation but later. this happens when we get sick
