Usually the super taster stuff is a non issue. I just never drank much alcohol because it presents a very strong taste in any drink, even the most girliest of drinks. For foods only really bitter stuff hits me hard, I just avoid it.

Someone put cilantro in something a few weeks ago and I had never had it before. It tasted like I was eating battery acid

I don't like coffee or beer either. Just never have. I'm sure it's something I could get used to, but why. I could get used to smashing my balls with a hammer too, but fuck that.

Nah, that's all these younger generation kids. I'm old enough that nobody gave a fuck that peanuts could kill me as a child.

A few years ago at Emc I was tired of buying energy drinks so I decided this year I would make the plunge and drink the free coffee. Some dude saw me take a sip and act like a little kid when I drank it and spat it out. Never looked at me the same.

Getting used to coffee is something I have no interest in.

Super taster does have a nicer ring to it than bitch-ass.

The only time I have drank coffee and liked it was when it was a mocha, we have a really fancy coffee machine at work that makes all this shit. But it didn't really taste like coffee it was more like hot chocolate with a slight coffee taste.

The darker the roast, the closer it tastes to chocolate. Much less acidity too, which I can't stand. But darker roasts also have less caffeine, so that might defeat the purpose.

Nah I really don't think I'm a super taster or whatever, because I am totally not a foodie and generally don't give a shit about food I eat the same thing almost every day. There's just some cultural things that people ritually consume that are fucking nasty that I don't partake in.

Arugula is the only leafy green that actually provides flavor. You prefer fucking lettuce? Crunchy water can go fuck itself.

I think the "pepper" taste of arugula is way overblown. But I've probably also blown out my taste buds with how much hot sauce I commonly use. If I want my salad to taste peppery, I'll add some pepper.

To give an example of my hot sauce usage, I'm currently on a kick where I'll use adobo sauce from chipotles as ketchup.

This. This is what I meant. People arent "super tasters", they just dont like bitter.

Which makes exactly as much sense as "I dont like sweet", "I dont like sour" and "I dont like salt". Its one of the five fundamental tastes. Children avoid bitterness. Adult palates generally prefer a balance. I think people who are calling themselves "supertasters" just never moved past the instinctive dislike for bitterness that all children start with.

Its not hitting your balls with a hammer. Its not "do this painful thing b/c itll make you stronger". Its that balanced flavors -- all five tastes, INCLUDING bitter -- are more complex and interesting. Chocolate is more interesting than confectionary coating. Coffee is more interesting that sweetened milk. Beer is more interesting than wine coolers.

Branch out, explore. Embrace the bitter. Its one of the fundamentals. Like the color red. Or the key of C. Removing this from your experiences just makes life less interesting and colorful.

In fairness, I should have avoided this cliched description. I think the more accurate description is "radishy" but that sounds weird.

Lots of the people who criticize people for what they eat not being "interesting" also drive goddamn minivans and watch network TV sitcoms and read romance novels. Some people are interested in "complex" foods and tastes, other people are interested in other things. Acting like you're high and mighty over the people who don't give a fuck about food is pretty dumb.
