How important is the taste and flavor of your food to you? What do you do to enhance the taste and flavor of foods?

Of course, I want my food to taste good and be flavorful, but I'm not driven by taste. I have a tendency to like bland, plain foods. One thing I noticed when I cut back on processed foods with their added salt, sugar, and fat is I could taste the natural flavor of the foods I eat. Also, when I ate processed foods the additional fat, sugar, and salt overwhelmed the natural taste of the food. I do add spices to food.

Very important! I like tasty, spicy, interesting foods, as well as yummy comfort foods and to me, if it's not flavorful, why eat it?

Flavor is important. Some flavors (like some Thai foods) are difficult if impossible to eat. Spices make a world of difference and I have found I like italian, Chinese, Mexican flavors best. I am guessing that if starving...flavor might play less of a part in what I chose to eat, though.
There is something about the five flavors that...googling...
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami are five taste elements that build our overall perception of flavour. When each element is perfectly balanced - not only on the plate, but across an entire meal - the dining experience is lifted above and beyond. www.cordonbleu.edu/news/how-to-balance-the-five-flavours/en [there were other links but this was the first to pop up] |
