    The Sense of Taste

    About this ebook

    'The Sense of Taste' is a treatise on the gustatory system by two Columbia University psychologists, H. L. Hollingworth and A. T. Poffenberger. The authors regarded the sense of taste to be in numerous ways the most paradoxical of all the senses. Although, as a source of sense impression, it can afford the keenest immediate feelings of pleasure and delight, the books on aesthetics and art have little or nothing to say about it. Skill in the compounding of tastes and flavors, or discrimination in their relish, brings the expert neither artistic recognition nor social eminence. Taste, it is constantly asserted, is one of the "lower senses," and neither in the enjoyment of it nor the ministration to it is there to be acquired the merit and general esteem that readily distinguish an art from a service.

      Jan 31, 2024

      The human tongue is able to detect five different tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami (savoury), providing us with a quick way to distinguish between different types of food. Sweet foods contain sugar and are a good source of energy. Salty f

      How We Taste

      Jul 11, 2019

      Taste is produced by the body’s biological translation of flavour. The responsibility of detecting taste, however, doesn’t fall solely on the tongue but works in tandem with the nose. Before any food has reached the mouth, olfactory (smell) receptors

      In The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S. Eliot had Prufrock reflect, “I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.” It’s a quote that engenders a sense in me that J. Alfred and I are kindred spirits, although lately it seems I’m embracing a la
