Features: I was deeply captivated by this book. In it, I learned that a quarter of professionals in venture capital enjoy spicy food. The book argues that "our choices in food can provide insights into our personalities, our cravings for food reflect our emotional desires, and our preferences for food can determine our roles in the family." Boston management consultant Bali Manilowwww.amazon.com 2002/6/31 This book reveals that over 90% of people's sense of taste is actually smell. In terms of food classification, it is divided into chapters, with flavors like ice cream, fruits, fragrant rice, and salt representing different personalities. Foods that represent sensuality include soup, meat, and chocolate. The book also tests whether we enjoy high-risk investments and frugal foods. It made me want to try and enjoy certain people or things for the first time. Psychologist Lenore Thomson

When we talk about "taste," it's mostly about "smell." If you close your eyes, pinch your nose, and I put a small piece of apple in your mouth, you might think you're eating an onion. If you hold your breath and take a bite of premium European chocolate, it will taste like cardboard. As I mentioned earlier, over 90% of what we call "taste" is actually smell, so saying "taste" is technically incorrect. The human sense of taste can distinguish four types of flavors: sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. Additionally, we can also perceive aroma, which is the result of the food's olfactory function acting through the nasal cavity.
