That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

t issues

I mostly like grapefruit, but if the non-ruby-red variety isn't properly ripe, the bitter is almost soapy.

Green olive= eyeaugh. Black are ok.

Vinegar often makes my mouth want to turn inside out and my cheeks climb on top of my head, but as a component to something else, I'm mostly ok with it. But not in pickled herring. = eyeaugh. Brussel sprouts are eyeaugh and bitter to boot. I sometimes don't like raw green bell peppers. Most of the time, actually.

And cilantro is nummy.

I could live in a world without sushi, mouthfeel issues. This applies to a lot of other things, including puddings and flan.

And a meal can't be all white or have too many colors.

And beer is gross and smells funny. t /issues

My mild headache is caused by a welt or zit in an entirely new place. Ouch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(I hate that term; it makes it sound like one is calling oneself a superhero; it should be more like a handicap),

Hey, with great power comes great responsibilty.

I love everything that you people hate, especially salt and vinegar. Especially together!!

Same here. Except for beer. Beer is ooky, and I don't understand why people drink it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

YOU have the power to taste gross things and not be felled!

ION, the interwebs are thwarting me in finding a tube of a particular discontinued lipstick by Urban Decay. I thought I could find everything on the interwebs, damn it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Salt and vinegar are each other's best hopes.

Even so...I think it's only with the potato they achieve true tastiness.

Oh, and Allyson, I think that your press release is wonderful. Please don't freak out too much about writing blurb letters.

Ah, even better, I have the power to have them not taste gross!

Except for beer. Beer is ooky, and I don't understand why people drink it.

I can even deal with (many kinds) of beer now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I need my flavors to be very crisp and clear - no jambalaya for me. It's part of the reason why I'm so hardline on sushi - the creaminess of avocado or cream cheese clashes too much with the vinegar & fish.

I have mouthfeel issues too, but they kick in at the curry/oatmeal/tapioca/lentil area.

Good olives are a delight. I have yet to find a vegetable I don't like.

You, my friend, are the true supertaster. Use your power responsibly, and please don't eat bell peppers near me.

Evil people who use their powers evilly: bars in this city who think people who don't like gin are lesser drinkers who don't deserve good drinks.
