Which is your favorite taste?

Love my Sour

 

[Dragonlord]

Spicy, no question - chili-heads of the world, unite!

This is true, though:

...
Also, spicy isn't really a taste, just the sense of heat triggered by capsaicin (no taste buds involved).

Sweet.

...I'm fat for a reason.

Now if you excuse me, there's still about 6 donuts left downstairs, so if you don't mind...~

Probably savoury.

 

[Ramius75]

How can you not have Umami
failpoll is fail

I will view 'Savory' as an attempt at it.

Salt. I eat plain salt all the time, I put salt on everything. Also pepper, whatever that would be defined as.

I may sound like some over correcting and annoying health freak here, but seriously, watch your blood pressure... salt is like an addiction. If you have the habit of eating too salty, stuff that is already salty won't taste salty enough. It's like drinking coke first, then eating a cookie. Ugh! The cookie will taste like a cracker.

Also, pepper is not a tastebud-taste, the special aroma comes through the nose (just like all the aroma that makes each and every single food unique). I am not sure why pepper is deemed 'hot', perhaps because of the sudden burst of very aromatic substances (which numbs the tongue). Here they sell some kind of candy which contains loads of cinnamon causing it to actually taste 'spicy', but it's not the real capsaicin spicy.

Things like horseradish, strong mustard and wasabi do the same, I think, but only they go up through the nose...

Well last time my blood pressure was taken last fall it was 100 over 65 I think. Everyone always tells me I'm gonna have a heart attack(I put salt on tuna, which everyone finds weird for some reason) but doctor says otherwise.

sweet. the thing is I don't eat too many sweet foods as I'll gain weight.

Savoriness of a juicy steak > sweetness of a chocolate sundae. Seriously, no other flavor is best at standing alone like savor.
