Taste Testing

Can we tell the difference?


   For us....taste can be very important to us. Inside our mouth or tongue has little bumps on the top and on the side of it, there are 200 more buds. Each of them containing a pore that can catch chemical from foods. But the ingredients in the drinks and food can change the taste. In an article from the New York Times called Knowing the Ingredients Can Change the Taste (article link here) was talking about know the ingredient in different kinds of beers. By telling people an ingredient from the different beers they tested, it would change the preference before they even drank them. Also in some other studies that they did was by putting a brand label on the those drinks tend to boost people's rating on the quality of them. The inter part in this article was that there were 60% of people in a blind test said that they could not tell the difference that contained vinegar but actually preferred balsamic.
