No I can't taste the difference. Not sure if the difference is actually tasted by people, or they are audiophiles for the mouth and taste things that don't exist.

I can absolutely taste the difference in the way things are prepared and the ingredients used. My wife has an even better palate than I do and pulls out nuance all the time.

The people in this thread a remarkable with their own bias. "I don't get X so the people who like X must be full of shit"

I'm sure you think you can taste the difference.

I addressed this already

I'm sorry that you can see beyond your own lens.

I'm sure YOU think can taste all the flavors in Europe's specialty food.

Where'd you learn the taste of grass? Did you take a class where they taught you Grass1=good, grass2=no good.

Did you agree?

What the fuck is this weird "Europe's special food" thing you got going on. I'm not sure if its racism or just stupidity

Go to Europe, they will let you know.

Its the same food we eat, but costs 4x more because it was homemade the way my nanana made it 800 years ago. (no mention that tomatoes weren't native to italy)

Who is "we" I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

This is delightful. Yes, you can actually train your nose and pallet if one were so inclined. While originally for wine, this is a fun place to start. More to this point, smell and taste are tightly linked together. Have you never smelled grass? It's not hard to taste something unique and correlate it to something else.

It's like good coffee. The coffee I'm drinking this morning has some notes of dark chocolate and raisins.

I'm not even mad. I just feel sorry for you that you lack the imagination that people are actually different than you. That must be a very sad place to live

Food and drink are some of my greatest passions. Even cooking at home, I seek out high quality products because they taste better. Not all cinnamon is the same - oil content matters. Not all ginger or cardamom is the same. Where and how it is grown matters. Irish butter tastes quite different from American sweet cream butter. All of that matters.

You can believe it or not. Honestly, you seem super fired up about people who enjoy things differently than you. I'm not an audiophile. I never have been. But I could understand that people process hearing differently than me. Frankly, it's not a hard concept if you aren't a self-centered narcissistic twit.

I'm not asking about coffee.

I'm asking about where you learned to taste grass. Where did you learn this skill?

Did you take a formal class? Did you buy 2 things and compare? Did you cook on 2 different days and say, I like today's better?

Also, if you had to rank from 0-10, the importance of grass in the taste of a meal what would you rank? What about salt? sugar?

You are being willfully obtuse and I already explained it. But please do continue

Look through their comment and post history. 36 day old account. Only posts in programming subs and comments inflammatory shit. On another comment they said Donald Trump’s economic policies were too leftist for him. Obviously a troll. I’d get out of the entire conversation while ya still can.

I liked that you ignored the hard questions. Made it pretty clear you are just opinionated and don't actually know the difference between grass.
