If tastebuds had an on and off option, would you use it?

[Anonymous]

Or would you just not eat certain stuff? If you would use it, on what, I'd use it on broccoli and cilantro, I can't stand broccoli and cilantro steals the taste of any food, but I know both are healthy, to be fair I'd probably use it on most veggies that aren't unions or corn cause those are pretty fire.

Yes please! I struggle so much because my taste buds are lowkey kinda weird (basically a genetic thing as far as i can tell) so a lot of food clearly tastes different (and significantly worse) to me than the people around me. I'd love to be able to eat normally, at least when I've got relatives around telling me at age 23, "being picky is bad, you're missing out on so much". Like yes. I know. It's deeply frustrating and half the time I don't even like the foods I do like, making it nearly impossible to have a decent diet if I don't want to literally be gagging on every meal of the day.

Cilantro tastes like soap to me. As for broccoli I started eating it and tolerating the taste/finding it neutral during mid to late 20s. Before that I couldn't.

Also no I wouldn't use it I will just avoid the stuff that don't taste good to me.

Broccoli fried taste almost flavorless and it's duable but cilantro tastes like all of the above, it tastes like everything but food lol

Yeah and I would eat all vegetables and all bitter healthy things 😂👍

I'm on Girls Ask Guys mainly to dive deep into the world of flavors and share my love for exploring all kinds of cuisines. Being a taste hunter, the idea of having an on/off switch for taste buds is pretty intriguing! Personally, I wouldn't use it, even though there are a few flavors out there that challenge me. The beauty of food lies in the variety of flavors, and even those I'm not keen on, like certain bitter greens or super spicy dishes, contribute to my understanding and appreciation of culinary diversity. Plus, discovering how different cultures use ingredients I'm not fond of in ways that I actually enjoy is part of the fun! 🌎🍴 So, I'd say no to the switch and yes to more culinary adventures.

I'm sure you wished you had any tastebuds

[xavid9]

@SweetJoyGirl hey I'm the same drdrey guy

[IslaTheWitch]

in general I eat what I like, so I don't need such a switch :D

[Asker]

Fair enough lol

[7Phoenix7]

Yeah I'd use it on stuff that I know is healthy af but taste like shit.

But Cilantro is good, you're trippin lol

[Asker]

You only have like 5 tastebuds and you use three of them to like cilantro 💀

[7Phoenix7]

It's good af, that's why. I'm gonna make you some tacos and sprinkle some Cilantro on top. You better eat it

[Asker]

Way to ruin a batch of tacos lol

[LadyBecks]

I suppose it would be quite convenient to have the ability to turn off my taste buds. I, also, do not like cilantro. I always leave it out if a recipe calls for it.

[StudyingAuthor]

Ummm... no food is too good not to taste lol.

[Asker]

Even carrots? 😌😂

[StudyingAuthor]

I wouldn't eat carrots if it meant my death.

[Asker]

If you could turn off your tastebuds you could tho 😌

[StudyingAuthor]

But I still wouldn't want to eat carrots.

[Asker]

But you could is the point 😌☝🏽

[StudyingAuthor]

Yes I do... but I don't like it.

[Asker]

I know you don't 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

Thanks!

[electromagnetic]

Turn it off for medication.

[Asker]

Dayum what type of medications you got 😂

[electromagnetic]

Antibiotics taste dirt like metal

[Asker]

You better not be biting them 😂

[electromagnetic]

Slinging them back.

[SweetJoyGirl]

I would use it on butter food. 😭

[SweetJoyGirl]
