Answers:
Do you have TASTE!? Of course you do!. Everyone has taste!. One of the great enjoyments of life is tasting great food!. Taste is sensed by humans using a sensory organ called taste buds!. The taste buds are concentrated on the upper part of the tongue!. The four basic tastes are: sour, sweet, bitter and salty!. There are other tastes like umami, tart, cold and hot!. Combining these taste sensations with food, herbs, spices and salts create many different and exciting flavors!. Most people have over 10,000 taste buds on their tongue!. The sweet taste buds are located mostly on the tip of the tongue!. The salt taste buds are located on the front and front side of the tongue but not on the tip of the tongue!. Bitter is detected on the rear part of the tongue and sour is located along the sides of the tongue!.
Sweet is from sugar, syrups and fruit!. It is void of acid!. Do some people have more taste buds than others!? The answer is yes!. They are called Super-tasters; about 25% of the population are considered Super-tasters!. About 75% of the Super-tasters are women, while 50% of the population is normal tasters and the other 25% are non-tasters!. Wow I really feel sorry for those non-tasters!. So what makes a Super-taster!? Super-tasters are people that are born with a lot more fungiform papillae; it’s the little bumps on the tongue in the taste buds!. Does this mean the Super-tasters enjoy food twice as much as the normal taster!? Well, it’s not as good as it sounds; a Super-tasters taste some foods twice as much, like sweet and bitter foods, so they have a tendency to stay away from vegetables like spinach, broccoli or brussels sprouts!. How do we taste something!? The fungiform papillae in the taste buds on the tongue is the start, the sensation then goes to the “taste nerve” and sends it to a relay area and then to the “taste center” in the brain!. That’s the layman’s way of describing the process!. But it goes beyond this process!. It’s the actual experience of putting a morsel of food in your mouth and enjoying the food!. You smell the aroma and feel the texture and then taste the full flavor of that morsel of food!. It’s what bakers, pastry chefs, cooks and chefs do everyday!. Taking the best ingredients they can find and making the most tasteful bread, soup, salad, entree or dessert they can!. By using the 4 classic taste components and adding Umami and blending hot, cold, and tart you can create delicious and exciting foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think for women it is a matter of what time of the month it is!. :) I can avoid sweets with no problem for 3 weeks out of the month and then BAM I can't get enough chocolate!.
Generally I prefer salty/crunch things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
