question on Si

[dbmmama]

I just tried this and imagined eating chocolate cake, tuna, orange juice, grape soda, and my answer is yeah, but the taste doesn't remain after you stop thinking about it, and it's more the texture and temperature than the taste anyway, because I hardly taste my food when I'm eating for real. I kind of just wolf it down.

Perhaps I just have a good imagination for that kind of thing.

haha. i wolf my food down too. ive called it that since i was a kid. but, if it doesnt taste good (which most foods dont to me), i wont eat it.

the only thing i can think of about the original topic is when someone else mentions a certain food, a strong tasting food, like citrus or salsa, my mouth waters. otherwise, i dont care about food very much.

You know what else is hot? Salsa. And Elro. And Elro with salsa.

I can, but there are people better at it. For example, I can taste something I have already tasted, but I cannot predict how a mixture will taste. My ISTp friend can do it, and he's pretty good at creating new mixes. I have an ENTj friend that sometimes tries to create new mixes, and they consistently taste horribly, lol (I'm sure mine would taste just as bad).

Ok, this is consistent with how I am. Not that I haven't done any bad mixtures... I 've done (or tried doing) all sorts of different, unconventional, strange, from odd to "wtf" mixes and something passes and something doesn't. But I 've never stopped experimenting and trying out new ways of dong things (not just with food of course), which is one of the things that keep my unsettled spirit alive.

I can imagine the texture, but not the flavor, unless I can smell it.

[iAnnAu]

I can bring the memory of sensations back, but they don't have the same impact as reality. I can remember taste, texture, temperature, sound, smell, etc. but luckily enough when I think about old injuries I never re-experience the pain. Not sure if that's Si or just styles of memory-imprinting.

I have a hard time concocting combinations in my mind. Like I'll know how the separate things taste but not how they'll complement each other in an untried combination. But I've also read that the taste buds can only discern a limited number of tastes in any one bite, and I don't seem to have that limitation - I can taste sour at the same time as sweet at the same time as salty, etc., and several of my friends can, too. So, for example, if I eat a hot pepper, my mouth doesn't stop burning by sprinkling sugar on my tongue. Does that work for other people, though?

I've also read about how certain sensations tend to cancel out other sensations, and this doesn't seem to work for me either. If I'm cold and something starts itching, I'm cold AND I itch. If I'm hungry on top of it, it just keeps getting harder to ignore any of the states. With growing maturity, I can impose a patient demeanor over my discomfort, but it doesn't blunt it internally.

This looks like it has cilantro in it, which I think is the most disgusting ingredient the world.

That's what they say about cilantro: you either love it, or you hate it. No in between.
