I like tonic water. As a kid, I couldn't do chile. Still not too fond of lots of red chile, but not because of the bite. It's too earthy or something. Now the green stuff, pile it on!
I do have bitterness issues, but it is oddly specific.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Spinach leaves a weird feeling on my teeth sometimes, but that's about it.

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

Based on that quiz, I'm a non-taster. Except, I know that isn't true. I may be normal, but the thing about the quiz is it revolves around restaurant dining, which for me is a whirlwind of overstimulation. I can focus on the food, the atmo, or the people, but not really all of it. Given the choice, the people are more demanding and food slips into the role of being largely fuel. If I don't like it, I won't eat it, but I don't focus on it.

That quiz was dumb -- it gave me between supertaster and normal, but the reason I often wish the things on the menu were somewhat different isn't because I'm avoiding certain foods, it's because the kind of (small, simply decorated) restaurants I go to often have weird combinations!

If I don't focus on food, it doesn't get eaten. I have a really hard time making it just be fuel, which has its downsides (like, say, last week), but I've "counselled" a few people for whom it's always just fuel, and I'll take my picky tongue and stomach over their food experience just about any day.
eta: What I think was interesting about that quiz is that it seemed to be more about your relationship with food, and the psychological effects of what sort of a taster you are.

I scored as supertaster, which was mostly because I said I like dressing on the side, I think. And that things don't look quite how I want them on the menu. But that's because I'm picky and demanding, not because what's on there isn't probably quite tasty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The test tells me I score either a supertaster or a nontaster and that therefore I am in between, but that my score also means I am not a normal taster. @@. I guess it would be too easy to have "Do you like white wine y/n; do you like soy y/n" etc.
