I do cook for myself. I have obsession meals that I make with very specific brands of food and have gotten good at making for myself. But I realized recently that I have no mind’s tongue. Someone was trying to explain the difference between bitter and smokey and I told them I’d need to taste the foods to know what they were talking about and they got confused. And flavors don’t blend well in my mouth. I’ve repeatedly had people think I was exaggerating how much I disliked sour cream and coffee and would try to hide it in things to catch me secretly enjoying my Bad foods. But afaik I’ve caught it quickly every time. I just taste multiple tastes at once, not how they taste together. Kind of like how cheap crayons just color over each other instead of blend.
