I went in search of clever people talking about 'neuromodulation', and stumbled upon this blog post about cooking. Excellent, well done internet!

I don't think it's unique to particular cuisines, it's just that we're deaf to the unspoken techne of our own Western culinary traditions. we've just already absorbed it if we've learned how to cook in our native cuisines. learning a non-native one takes research.
Thing is - there is a significant history of detailed recording of recipes in Western traditions, much less so in Thai villages. I don’t want to promote culinary Orientalism, but the oral knowledge of those in the know far outstrips everything I could possibly have ever read.

That said, you make a good point in that we become blind to our own knowledge. I can’t say I’ve thought about this in much depth - cooking is generally a safe haven from my own bullshit.
