Huh. Test says I am a supertaster but I don't see how that's possible. I like cabbage. And coffee. And olives. And most things, really, as long as it isn't the fruit of a nightshade or a melon. I want to try the experiment, now...
Celery is fine, but bloody marys are best with pickled green beans. Apple in tuna does not sound good to me, but I might like it if I tried it. I don't know if I will, though. Apple in chicken salad, now, I can get behind, since apple-chicken sausage is yummy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like apples. I don't mind the crunch of apples because they're sweet and their flavor goes well with foods that are slightly bland (which I like, mostly).
I've developed a taste for some things I initially disliked, but they still taste bitter and sharp. It's weird. Like soy, or spinach. They don't taste any better, I'm just more accepting of their unique flavor. (As I pry open my protesting jaws, which are certain we're eating poison.)

Well, peering at my tongue in a pocket mirror without the benefit of dye or a reinforcement ring leads me to believe I'm a normal-to-nontaster. I think I only came up supertaster on the quiz because I like to try little bits of everything and try to analyze the flavors, but that's just because I'm interested.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All that taster poking around led me to sign up for that maternal DNA test from National Geographic. Don't ask. I have click proliferation issues.

Link to the test, ita? That sounds like the kind of thing I'd do.

ITA. Celery isn't even food - just roughage and water.
Also, a spice. It has a very distinct flavor. I don't like it as filler, but I love it as and onion/pepper/leek/garlic type of veggie, though it's much subtler.
Anyone see Hell's Kitchen tonight? I think I'm addicted (again). Ramsey is just such a bizarro combination of tyrant and benevolant despot. The big thing is what gets out to the customer. He'd rather they get no food instead of bad food, at least in this environment; I assume folks who come to the place must realize they may not get anything (or get it hours later).
Also, still really liking the US Creature Comforts. It hasn't made me guffaw yet, but it's made me smile both episodes.
