I would love to be able to do something like this. I love one of the challenges Ramsey does on Hells kitchen where the chefs are blindfolded and have to work out the food! I wish I could do this. Only without Gordon screaming abuse at me lol

What fun and so educational too! I did a ‘super taster’ test once where we had to dye parts of our tongues blue- a bit weird, but fun I was inordinately pleased to be told that I’m one of the select
The better we educate our new chefs, the better they will be when they go out on their own into the industry, great job!

That must have been such an interesting experience. I know i can always taste sourness a lot more than other people. Sometimes this is quite annoying. Imagine not being able to taste bitterness… not much taste in a big olive oil or hops in a beer or …..

That’s really interesting, Amanda. I’ve heard babies in utero can also feel pain by eight weeks gestation. I think I can taste bitter things – maybe because I’m a kiwi! xx

This is very interesting. I never thought that some people could not taste certain things; bitterness, saltiness etc. I also find the evolution point very interesting as well. I wish I had all those taste receptors; imagine all the flavours!

Amanda, this sounds like such an interesting and innovation way to spend the day! Appetite for Excellence is a great program!
