Taste Test
By: Jennifer Rosen	<< back   Page 2 of 2

If you turn out to be a super-taster, what do you do, other than embroider an S on your shirt? Try not to reject too many vegetables. Salt helps counteract bitterness (which explains why chocolate, inherently bitter, tastes great over salty pretzels). Stop feeling weird about hating food that other people love. If your kid refuses to eat broccoli or spinach, don’t push it; could be he’s a super and they taste terrible to him. Look for equally nutritious substitutes he can stand.

As for wine, non-tasters need not despair; most wine appreciation comes through the nose anyway. And now you know: bad taste is a scientific condition, independent of the wearing of plaid golf pants.
