Si - how to discover it

[Tallmo]

My SEI GF and I visited her brother (ILE) and his GF (SLE) in Ibiza two weeks ago. So my GF cooked dinner, and the SLE woman asks my GF questions on how my GF cooks, and somewhere in that discussion my GF says she never tastes the food while cooking, to the bewilderment of the SLE, for how can one cook without tasting now and then? To which my GF replied that she knows how it tastes. It's not that my GF follows recipes to the letter, or something, she rather improvises at it, it's all in the wrist, so the speak. It's the same phenomenon Tallmo is talking about, but then applied to food and flavors, instead of e.g. colors and textures.

I don't see how it could be the same, but maybe I didn't understand. If you apply this to food, it means tasting it and separating the pure taste from the Si inner sensation of it.

For example, when I drink wine I don't really register what it actually tastes like. Only how it sort of feels in my mouth (more Si related)
