So Monday was a very interesting class because I love to eat but don't know a lot of what I eat. I know the main dishes of course but when it comes to spices or other additives I can't necessarily pick those out when I eat so our problem solving exercise was quite difficult for me. I tried my best to use my other senses besides taste in order to get around this problem which helped a little bit but was not the greatest strategy. I guess that is just something I need to work on... enhancing my palette.
It is weird when you think of what is in our food. I do a little bit of cooking when I'm home, and it always surprises me when I see that my recipe for banana bread calls for salt. I don't taste salt when I'm eating it, but if I accidentally leave it out (which I have been known to do from time to time), the end product tastes off or funny. I guess some ingredients work best when you don't notice them at all.
