Please consider this week’s column a Public Service Announcement and an Appeal. It is borne out of several conversations I have had with various people complaining about the lack of taste of many foods and beverages.
Do you taste what you eat? In other words, can you discern what it is that you’re eating and drinking when you consume food and beverages? I’m not referring to having a finely-tuned palate like a chef or someone very familiar with food. Rather, I’m talking about the ability to determine that you are eating the breast meat of chicken rather than the thigh meat; that you’re eating beef and not lamb; or drinking tangerine juice and not orange juice.
