not sure why I never thought of this before, but the tongue is not the *main* taste sensor. I only just realized this when I held my breath when I accidently drank an old cup of coffee and tasted nothing. smell seems to be the most important thing when it comes to taste.

I mean I get that most people know that holding your breath changes the taste but am I wrong thinking most people think the tongue is used as the main taste sensor.

can't tell if I'm retarded or a genius for this observation

Anyone who works on the food industry knows that smell and sight are a huge part of taste. You smell and see your food before you actually put it in your mouth.

That's why at some fancier places they will gussy up a plate with aromatics.
