I'm sure it's a real enough thing for people out there. Me, though, I've never cracked that code: What is it, why does everybody get all exited about all this taste stuff? Sure, some things taste good, some things taste bad, there's stuff I like to eat, and stuff I wouldn't touch with a ten foot spoon, but honestly, it's just ... food. Apparently, I'm at odds with most people on this. Friends have a really hard time accepting that I mean it when I say I have no preference for what we are going to eat (well, I'll skip the meat, but otherwise), or indeed, whether we are going to eat anything - can't we just grab some bananas if we're hungry? Of course, this also generally leaves me less than enthusiastic about eating at restaurants. Basically money out the window in my stymied view of the world.
