Taste is the trickiest sense. Intimately associated with smell, it is difficult to parse. For Herself, taste is difficult to assess because so many foods are linked with headache; what might be delicious may also be rather toxic (e.g., chocolate). There is the component of texture, too -- what might have a tempting flavor may be lumpy, stringy, or otherwise have a strange 'feel' to it. The sense of sight also plays a role: is the item sufficiently aesthetically appealing to consume?
Because it is so complicated, the list of favorites will be simple: the best possible tastes always involve plants. Cold, crisp watermelon. Salad (even when it is primarily a vehicle for the salad dressing). Cherries. Berries of any kind, whether fresh or jellied. A mint leaf. Corn on the cob. Lots and lots of garlic.
What are your favorite tastes?
