Man, I just spent forever sleeping in my car to get rid of all of a nasty migraine. Wandering the aisles of Costco was driving me insane because everything smelled bad. And really bad. Or, more accurately, everything smelled, and that was really bad.
the point of the sandwich is clearly to pick ingredients by their high cost
If your assertion is "clearly," then you're some proof short of a point, I think. I don't think it's clear at all, and in fact contradicts the article, as noted. If it's less clear and more an opinion, then that's different to me.
Nowadays, the supertaster gene appears to affect people's wellbeing in other ways. Take flavonoids for example. These are the healthy antioxidant chemicals found in fruit and vegetables. Flavonoids taste unpleasantly bitter to supertasters, so they often avoid foods which contain high levels of them. On the other hand, they tend to have a lower risk of heart disease, because they also shy away from very fatty, salty and sugary foods.
This, from here sounds precisely like me. Perversely, I suppose, I'll eat brussel sprouts despite them tasting terribly metallic. I just never buy or cook them, and couldn't tell you the last time someone served them to me. I can handle broccoli, but there's a strong sense of duty there.
There's food I will sometimes work past, like brussel sprouts or G&T, for reasons I don't understand. There's food like coffee that I can handle a small teensy subset of. And then there's grapefruit, which I just can't get my tongue around unless it's highly abstracted like Ting.

Pasta has a flavor of its own? What a concept.
Depends on the pasta. Some's just a medium, some has a flavour.
