      So the seeming trouble comes when you go "outside" your flavor profile. When people start trying foods that are acidic or vinegary, it tastes "too aggressive" to them. Same goes for a lot of bitter foods.

      But just because their taste buds react so confidently to this in negative fashion, does not mean they are *correct* for tasting this way. After all, the acid has a huge purpose and makes your mouth water.

      Now, can individual preparations of foods be too salty? Too acidic? Unbalanced? OFF COURSE. Cooking ain't easy, but when looking at common things, you need to realize an entire region doesn't eat a certain way by accident.

      So what it often means is you haven't developed your palate for a bigger range yet. And if there's anything I've learned, openly embracing different flavor profiles is the best way to learn how to love pretty much all regional food.

      More over, it gives you a further understanding of flavor and being able to identify the reason certain foods don't work. You'll eat something and be like "too rich, needs more acid" or recognize under seasoned food. It really leads to eating nirvana.

      And it's important. Because when I was five years old I liked chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, and un-sauced pasta. Why? Because a lot of kids haven't developed their palates and are over-sensitive to acid.

      So what's the point of all this? Next time you unleash a "hot food take," think for a moment if you understand the basics of the flavor involved and it's not because you didn't develop your palate beyond a five-year-old. Spritz the damn lime. Soon you'll see it's delicious.

      I have pretty bad hypogeusia (decreased sense of taste), coupled with issues with my sense of smell, leaving me basically unable to understand how most people develop and interact with taste so...

      Honestly a lot of hot takes on food seem to be people looking for a reason to look down on how other people eat and I get enough bullshit from people in real life about my ability to taste things that I'm not down for it from anyone, and tbh that includes this thread.

      (as a side note; yes, I do have my meat well done. I...can't actually taste it unless it's at least the more cooked side of medium. Rare steak to me is just...flavourless. This causes a lot of issues with people :D :D :D :D D:)

      I'm sure you are beyond sick of having to explain this all the time to everyone, but if you're ever going to fancy food place, most are trained to handle anything and everything. Tell them beforehand and sometimes they can augment dishes to account for this!

          Honestly the best way I've found to handle for me to have stuff with strong enough flavours for me to taste seperately? Like, I can taste most veg and stuff. Seasonings run into the issue that I either can't taste them OR they are the only things I can taste.

          On a few occasions I've had a meal where the flavourings are correctly balanced for me to be able to taste them and the rest of the meal, but it's a small window.
