YOUR SE Anyone can tell the dif ference between a dash of pepper and a dash of lemon freshness--and for good rea son ! Located on your tongue arc more than 9,000 Instc buds that help you achieve that elusive quality known as taste. There arc four types of taste buds, each with its own function. The sweet buds are located on the front center part of the tongue, and the sour sensing buds line the sides in front. Bitterness is registered in the back center. Since most poisonous substances are bitter, the location of the bitter taste buds in relation to swallowing is one of our most important survival senses. The back sides of the tongue are lined with the salt sensitive buds. Sight, smell, feel and lo cation all affect our taste to varying degrees. Steak, for example, has little real taste, but it does have a wonderful aroma, chewing qualities and eye appeal.

Tests showed that mashed potatoes color ed purple with a tasteless food dye served in a dark room were consumed with relish, but when the lights were turned on, a resound ing “ugh” echoed off the walls! • Tourists to Hawaii who readily agree that repetition is another important factor in taste. Food that is dis liked at first try, say caviar, may become tolerable or even relished after repeated tasting. All of us have no ticed that soup that initially requires no salt later requires additional seasoning to main tain the initial satisfaction. As taste buds come in con tact with same substance more and more frequently, they become less sensitive and therefore more neutral toward it. One more thing about your taste buds from beginning to end, they’re sensational!
