A lot of stuff we don't know.

Visual cues way out-rank odor...why is everyone taking photos of their plates at restaurants? Hiring food stylists to out-do each other's Cookbook photos? Since I do the cooking, I can see and hear a crisp coating on a steak sizzling in a pan..I don't need to smell it. My taste buds also are muted, but I don't oversalt or eat weird stuff...as you said...the other senses step in.
Jean ,totally agree...and I hadn't even read that part...just thought this article was another piece of "fake science news"  |
