I know the cilantro example is famous, but as a super taster and having other people with the gene onions are very divisive. For me, anything more than a hint is overpoweringly disgusting and the idea of actually biting into one directly fills me with dread.

Onion powder and garlic powder are both very preferable to the actual substance taste wise.

If you know someone in your life that really likes diet soda and other artificially sweetened things and even prefers it to the regular, they just might be a super taster.

If you know someone that finds wine, beer, tea and coffee horrifically bitter to the point that they can't even understand how you enjoy it. They may also be a super taster.

If you know someone that complains Seltzer's like white claw and lacroix are absurdly bitter and completely disgusting. That is likely because they can taste a profile called bitter two, which is prevalent in these things because they are a super taster.

I know nobody will read this and learn to quit bitching at people about what they like, but I figured I'd at least try.

Now that I'm done being reasonable:

Why don't you stop pussyfooting around with weak bitch shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico? Onions are for mayo loving losers afraid of burning their tender tongues, miss me with that shit.

What if I love plain sparkling water, black (loose) tea, dark chocolate, unsweetened espresso? Enjoy the taste of plain (real, not American) bread with olive oil or butter on its own? Hate food spicier than butter chicken?

Am I a super taster or the opposite? I joke that I have the palate of a medieval peasant, though I'm guessing they wouldn't have enjoyed dark chocolate or undiluted coffee/tea.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Opposite of me in almost every way lol def not a super taster

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol being a super taster would be hell for me if I already feel so sensitive to taste/scent.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I don't love it sounds like a super power when all it does is make you not like popular stuff for the most part. There is however one upside which is when I eat something truly good my soul leaves my body and I fall through space and time. I call it a taste journey. Have to be vigilant to not get super fat haha.

How are you for Mushrooms? Also a supertaster and I just cannot understand how anyone can eat them - they're so oppressively fungal.

Them and Jalapenos (nearly all pungent peppers in fact) are the two people always pull the "HoW cAn'T yOu LiKe It It'S sO gOoD!!" reaction with me...

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Canned sliced button mushrooms are pretty easy to eat.

I mostly eat the fun kind of mushrooms which are very unpleasant to get down but worth the health benefits.

I'm a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.

But you've got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I'd bite into an onion like it was an apple before I'd drink a diet soda.

Also, mayo is delicious.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Really every super taster i know drinks diet,soda like it's going out of style. And cooking an onion works for people that are not super tasters but ones that are still usually overwhelmed from the small sample size I've met over the years.

Were you a smoker at any point perhaps?

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, I've never smoked. I looked it up, and it seems the trend is generally that super tasters prefer real sugar over fake. Obviously everyone is different though.

But I can detect the faintest bit of artificial sweetener. It's very unpleasant.
