Alas, people’s tongues don’t have the exact same spread of taste receptors, and our brains can interpret signals in different ways even when the origin simulation is identical. It’s part of what makes food recommendations so difficult. Even something as broadly enjoyable as chocolate still isn’t so universal that every single person likes it.
When it’s something as single note as umami can be, there’s going to be a lot of misses to go with the hits :(



The point, man, the point! That’s the fucking point!
