If someone had a superior sense of taste, then they'd get more flavor in every bite for any unseasoned food, while it would taste more bland for others. Everyone else would need to enhance the flavor with spices and seasoning just to get a comparable experience. Now suppose that entire races had wildly different abilities to taste flavor. What would that look like?
That doesn't even touch on issues with salicylates and IBS - those are whole different rabbit holes.
