I taste fruits very vividly, whether they be sour or sweet. However, with fruits, I find the sour or sweet taste enjoyable to my palate. For example, if I have a very sweet orange, the extreme sweet taste sensation is enjoyable; or, even a sour sensation in lemon is equally enjoyable. When it comes to coffee, I do find it bitter and can taste it vividly. I don't dislike it intensely, and have come to appreciate it in certain blends.
I seem to like very sweet things, even if I taste them more vividly.

Actually, I do like very dark chocolates. I like chocolates of every kind, maybe except for the 99% pure ones. Some of my favorite chocolates are the 85% pure ones. There are certain foods where I seem not to mind the strong taste sensation--chocolate is certainly one of them. Also, I don't mind the bitter bite of casis that exists in a strong cabernet.
Of course, some of these are acquired tastes. However, for whatever reason, I can't seem to acquire the same taste for veggies.
