Do you like broccoli? Serious question. I've not been diagnosed but I'm fairly certain I'm also a super taster. And yup, everyone has distinct smell.
Generally hate it, but eat it anyway. Broccoli is ok if the flavor is boiled away or masked from grilling.
Same here. What's your take on wine? Do you enjoy that? I can only taste rotten fruit. And blue cheese tastes like rotten trash.
Depends on the wine, really. The pink blends and milder whites can be ok. It's hoppy beers that I really hate. Blue cheese tastes like puke, but again-milder forms can be ok. Not a huge fan of coffee and bitter citruses, but overall I'm not too picky. I can pretty accurately name every ingredient and spice that goes into a dish.
The aldehydes in coriander and cilantro taste like industrial solvent, but that's more due to having the gene that allows the taste of them.
