> Dogs for example, have much more sensitive smell than we do, but doesn't seem to influence what they eat much. I'm not sure. Raw potato? Not interesting to a dog. Boiled plain potatoes? They'd eat them if hungry but meh. Fried, salty potatoes? They love them as much as humans do. I think dogs distinguish those primarily by smell. Similarly, while a whole raw apple or carrot won't interest my dogs, they are into them if they're sliced up (presumably from the release of the scent).
