This just made me think about Buddy System with Rhett being the supertaster ;) but its definitely interesting, I grew up with parents who couldn't cook to save themselves so nothing was "tasty" - these days I do so many experiments with food (not like you guys with GMM though haha) and majorly increased my taste, and it shows with my 3 year old - he has a wider range of enjoyable foods than I did even 5 years ago.. love the science behind it all :)

I began liking spicy hot food while living in Japan. We ate a lot of sushi, and wasabi would get on my sushi just by accident and I slowly fell in love with the flavor. Now, I eat Habenro hot sauce! A lot, lol. I taste the flavor of the pepper in the sauce,  past the heat . I'm so glad I increased my spicy flavor pallette!

I know I'm a super taster because we did that chemical test at science north and in my science class but for me it's mainly a texture thing like I cant eat tomatoes but I have tomato sauce and juice stuff like that but I pick tomatoes off of everything even if it's like cut up in a pasta sauce I will still push the tomatoes to the side... my fiancee hates it but I continue to try new things even if it may seem weird or gross to me.

Doesn’t taste begin forming in utero? Check this out: I’ve always *loved* super spicy food but when I was pregnant with my son I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was crushed! But once he was weaned, my ability to tolerate that wonderful heat gradually returned. Turns out my son can’t handle even the slightest bit of spiciness. He is 9 and thinks pepperoni is too spicy. I can’t even cook with *any* amount of black pepper because it lights him up. I think it’s interesting that my own tastes changed while I was carrying him. He couldn’t handle the spicy so, at least while he took up residence in my body, I couldn’t, either. Pretty dang cool. Or, at least not as hot, anyway. 🌶 Heh.

My husband thinks I'm a super taster because there are so many foods that I just can't like no matter how hard I try. I did grow up eating pretty bland food and I never knew that that probably contributed to my adult tastes to the extent  that this video says.

I'm a really picky eater like link. This made me feel better about it. :)

I love this series already. Mike’s great.

Why Is Link Such A Picky Eater?
