I know. But I still had to stick my oar in.

> I figure I'm in the medium taster category, leaning on the supertaster side. Some British food is indeed "boring" to me, but there are several things that I like. And Indian food is indeed "insane" to me -- dire pain is not fun. I like sweet things, but not too sweet, and I like *mildly* spicy things. Of the various "bitter" things that supertasters are said to generally dislike, I like broccoli, cauliflower, grapefruit, chili, and dark chocolate (although I prefer milk chocolate), but I don't like coffee, wine, brussels sprouts, spinach, peppers, olives, or sharp cheeses.

Strangely (by this theory), I can appreciate both ends of the spectrum: I can get through a tandoori or a phaal (albeit slowly), but I can also identify (and prefer) more delicate flavours.

That being said these is a significant list of foods I can't stand, such as cheese (except on pizza, for some reason), wine or any green vegetables.
