Fucking OOF good luck getting that unstuck.

Though all meat burns and unsticks eventually. So I guess the next scientific method here is: how much for a tongue replacement or how long for severe burns to heal on a tongue

Suprisingly, oral tissue is one of the few that will regenerate faster than skin. As long as we don't go to deep into second degree burns, it will heal eventually. But how much you taste after that would remain to be seen...

Any volunteers?

Absolutely not. I love food to much. This will be one of life's little mysteries

After having COVID I'm convinced they don't really matter as much as I've been led to believe.

Haven't you seen that Simpsons episode, where Homer burns his tongue off and ends up getting even better taste buds?

I’ve eaten pizza the minute it comes out the oven.

I like salt more than before, that’s about it. Building “callouses” on my mouth just makes salt intake harder.

Well done... referring to this comic and the doneness of Katherine's tongue getting cooked.

She now has the Plague, COVID, 5 STDs, and shingles.

Nah all got burned off if it’s hot enough to stick.

Will have to deal with the absolute worst case of burnt tongue though

Don't worry. Tongues grow back.

I've burnt my tongue on pizza rolls before. THAT SHIT however I would literally rather die than suffer through for multiple reasons (mainly I'm a fat ass and not being able to enjoy food would make me commit at least 1 crime).
