Have you ever thought food tastes weird? Well I have. Almost every time I eat something without anything it tastes pretty bad. I don’t say i eat bad food often but sometimes i feel it’s just disgusting. I think there are the different ingredients that makes the food taste good and makes you like chicken or vegetable’s. This may sound like a matter of course for you, but why is it that way. Is it that all brains are different and combines the tastes in a potato soup for an example or is it something else?

I’m not a expert in this subject, I have not even read anything about this, but my theory is that the brain simply makes things taste different.

But when i think about it in that way i remember that we all can recognize tastes together.

Example: You and your friend eat lunch together. Your friend orders his or her favourite food and you do the same to taste if it is that good. Your friend says: Oh! lemon! i LOVE the sour, sweet and strong taste of lemon, there is lemon in the dish. You think: Oh no i hate lemons! It’s to sour and sweet, my my mouth hurts when i eat it.

I got an explanation to this. If you grew up and always hated sour things, you learned to recognize sour tastes because everyone else says it is sour. So all tastes taste different to different people.

This way of thinking started when i thought about colors. When I “decided” my favourite color my brain thinks it’s blue. I see blue as blue because you cannot describe a color. But when you “decide” your favourite color you decide it’s  green or red because you see green or red as the same color i see blue. This is a very complicated way of thinking I think and if you don’t understand or want to know more about how i think, leave a comment or message me.

Well back to food. You will probably have to read the part about sour lemon again.

I start again right with a question: But why did you like sweets when you where a child and not now. This i cannot answer, it’s up to you to solve. Leave a comment if you got a possibly answer.

Thanks for reading!
