But I wouldn't classify those as basic flavors, they're more of a generic physical sensation rather than signals unique to the taste buds on a tongue. For example the capsaicin burn of a pepper can be be felt somewhere else on my body but now matter how much vinegar or sugar I rub on, I would not know if it was sour or sweet.
