I just learned from another thread that mine is... fantasizing smells and flavors, and being able to mentally combine them to know what two ingredients will taste like together before I combine them. Apparently not everyone can do this?
As far as I'm aware, this is a skill that can be learned by training your palate
A lot of these are skills that people can learn, but they’re not something that most people care to learn. I can only recommend this one though
Makes sense, I've done food and wine training for years.
You are the Iron Man of these already mundane Avengers lol
I'm one of those. I really couldn't make my own recipes when I was homebrewing.
Didn't knew this was not normal. Although I've screwed with mine by moving. Some stuff tastes slightly different from what I expect, and those small differences accumulate. But I suppose I'll eventually get used to the ingredients here and it will come back.
Have you read The perfume by Patrick Süskind? You sound like a real-life Grenouille. Without the murdering, hopefully :D
Screw you for making me remember XD
I can do this. I'm also good at trying food at a restaurant, then recreating the flavors at home.
