Eating out anywhere.

skyraider · Jul 21, 2011

It must be me, but I have been eating out at least 2 meals a day on the road. I have noticed IMHO that food is tasting different to me.

For example:Ketchup, is bland, like cheap, bread taste day old,potatoes as home fries are stale tasting or the cooks these days dont know what they are doing. With generations now growing up on fast food, how can I expect anyone in a restaurant to cook anything correctly or select food grades above average.

It is the poor quality out there, killed your taste buds. Ruined them.

HEY! We delivered a load in Cookeville VERY early on Tuesday.

Actually, the older you get the less tastebuds you have. Add to that the sense of smell decreases and food doesn't taste like it once did.

Sorry to give you the bad news...

Feeding your taste buds high quality custom beer can fix that. In large quantities of course.

I have watched turtles eat. I don't think that taste is the main thing for them.

I ate at a Kentucky fried chicken yesterday. It must be age and taste buds and the $12 bucks I paid for it didn't make it taste better ether. Can you believe it $12 bucks for a couple pieces of bland chicken.

Yes they are and if there is one in the area I will stop. It's funny a friends wife does this extreme coupon shopping and has an envelope with nothing but chic fila coupons. We always eat free when we go. She can go in with 4 grand kids, grandpa and me and not pay a dime for lunch. Funny. But yes they are one of the best fast food restaurants we have.

Yeah, what Dakota said.

As you get older your taste buds die out, 'cause evolution didn't think you'd be needing them for that long. (Same with your eyes.) It's also why many people while they are younger don't like hot (spicy) foods, but the heat is something that you get to like, because that heat is also a flavor enhancer. Cholula is one that's mildly hot, not bad at all, but it'll wake up dead taste buds.

8 paragraphs. hrmph.
