Still, there are problems of original research and bias, like the articles <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeer" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Somalia_(1991-2006)" rel="nofollow">here</a>, which I can tell were written by some Austro-libertarians who were projecting their beliefs onto the world.Samson Corwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148822362930969284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-44985555686697765772014-03-11T01:29:26.009-04:002014-03-11T01:29:26.009-04:00I can definitely attest to the fifth basic taste, ...I can definitely attest to the fifth basic taste, umami is my absolute favorite, yet none of the others quite captures it. I can't say that I notice anything when it comes to MSG, but my taste palette is definitely more attuned to flesh, veggies, funguses, and fermented foods. I really cannot stand sweet, sour, or salty foods, I much prefer foods that are bitter, hot, fleshy, or funky. Kimchee, super hot peppers, mushrooms, ginger, cheese, asparagus, brussels sprouts, steak, liver, heart, kidney, shrimp, sardines, cabbage, lobster, crab, crawdad, eggs, 85% or greater cacao chocolate, spinach, nightshades, liverwurst, broccoli, salad greens, cauliflower, tea, coffee, etc. <br /><br />If that isn't weird enough, I also like all of my food and drink to be served at room temperature (if it is hot or cold, I won't touch it). <br /><br />And on the senses, well, you already know that I'm a synesthete. So yeah, I'm pretty much an all around weirdo. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
