Do you feel like taste is a weak sense, or is your sense ~what you think others are experiencing. Since smell is an important factor of taste, do you find food exciting?


As someone with a weak sense of smell, I don't care much for most food. I'm a fan of spicy foods but little else. Perhaps this is because it stimulates other senses. If I'm left alone without being reminded, I'll go 1-2 days without eating on a regular basis.


Same. I love extremely spicy food but otherwise have very little interest in food; I also can't smell sour milk most of the time which is partly why I don't drink milk, and judiciously sterilize my kid's milk bottles. I generally only eat if I start feeling weak or it begins to impact my mood (low blood sugar)


Sounds like a superpower bro.
