TASTE and AROMA are compleeeetely different things!!!!!
Spicey Taste has absolutely NOTHING to do with what i'm trying to describe.
Spicey AROMA is what i'm after.
... NOT TASTE.
loads of weed 'tastes spicey' on the tongue. it has NOTHING to do with the AROMA .
sorry to be blunt about it. i've seen way to many of these threads go to shit, because people seem to think Taste & Smell mean the same thing.... they do not, at all, except for the few Strains that actually taste like the smell.
keep em coming guys![]()
Taste and smell have more in common than you obviously think. I watched a Discovery film recently where they show that you can't distinguish pork meat from chicken, fish or cow... all meat tastes the same if you clamp your nose... Only the basic taste comes from the tongue receptors, all the rest comes from the nose. That's from wikipedia:
Interactions of Olfaction with other senses
Olfaction and taste
Olfaction, taste and trigeminal receptors together contribute to flavor. The human tongue can distinguish only among five distinct qualities of taste, while the nose can distinguish among hundreds of substances, even in minute quantities. It is during exhalation that the olfaction contribution to flavor occurs in contrast to that of proper smell which occurs during the inhalation phase[20]
