Taste aversion

Larry’s French Market, “Doing Cajun Right” In Southeast Texas and Louisiana, Cajun food has an influence on almost every individual who tastes those blends of herbs, spices, and shellfish so associated with French culture. Although Groves, Texas might not seem like a town prideful of their Cajun cuisine, Larry’s French Market’s tastes like a meal straight out of the bayou. Larry’s French Market is well known by just about every local in a thirty mile radius. Larry’s reputation for easy…

For this report I interviewed my great grandmother, Margaret Westphal, about the changes she is encountering within each domain throughout late adulthood. Last April she celebrated her 76th birthday and appears to be aging successfully according to John Rowe and Robert Kahn (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 462). Rowe and Kahn define successful aging as maintaining physical health, cognitive abilities, being involved in social and productive activities, and being satisfied with life. (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p.…

Bunch O' Barbecue! Bunch O' Barbecue! Ask any Cebuano what Larsian is and they will know it. Imagine a food court, a food court is a large place with different vendors selling their different food items. Larsian is just like that, except that all the vendors essentially sell the same thing. In this case, barbecue. And a whole lot of it, different cuts of the chicken and pork are available here, including different varieties of seafood as well. If you are culinary adventurous, almost every part…

Steamboat Natchez Review On 11/4/2016, my classmates and I went on the Riverboat Natchez, down the Mississippi River. As we headed to New Orleans, you could hear the beautiful calliope playing before you actually saw the old boat. Once we got there, we had to wait in line. One of my few complaints about the boat was the wait. We waited in line twenty minutes at least. And about another thirty before the boat actually started moving. Even though the wait was long, the crew was very welcoming.…

The amusing city of Calgary is a place where the cold is as often present as the interesting things. While It may not seem so interesting when arrived the airport, because of the bored and sad yellow of the landscape, when it is about of the city the airport is forgotten. It is a long trip by road to arrive the city; about 30 minutes. The sad-looking urban city is very foggy and quiet during spring in the outsides, but it is very different when it comes to the insides of the buildings.…

If you feel a sharp pain or twinge in your teeth when you eat or drink hot or cold food or beverages, you may have tooth sensitivity. Many people are affected by this common dental condition that may happen often or sporadically. When you visit your dentist in Frisco TX, he or she will tell you that in normal, healthy teeth, tooth enamel and gums protect the dentin, which is the calcified tissue that surrounds the tooth pulp and nerve. Over time, enamel wears down and gums can recede,…

week or the crusty razorblade you finally threw away. There's just no way to know. So you could eat the cookie. You could take that risk that somewhere amongst the period blood and flu snot, your beautiful cookie is 75% of what it was. That it'll taste almost as delicious as it would've when you bought it. But are you willing to commit to what happens if it's not the same? If it's a shell of a fungus cookie? As you're debating that, you start dating somebody who works at a bakery. And the pube…

There are between five and twenty-one senses depending on your definition of a sense. The five basic senses that everyone can generally agree upon are touch, smell, sight, and hearing. The sense I was assigned to research is taste. The sense organ associated with taste is the tongue. The Lingual Papillae, Sulcus Termanalis, Tonsils, Adenoids and Frenulum Linguae are the main parts of the tongue. The Superior Longitudinal, Inferior Longitudinal, Transverse and Vertical muscles are the Intrinsic…

It was my fourth attempt at making banana bread. The first attempt, it looked amazing, but crumbled into pieces as soon as I cut a slice. It was too dry because there was too much dry ingredients and less wet ingredients. The second attempt, it tasted like literal white bread. The texture was still dry but lacked sweetness because the bananas weren’t ripe enough and the sugar wasn’t enough. The third attempt, it looked like the flatbread sandwich from Panera. The sweetness was just right but…

Aging Care and Problems with Taste Most seniors over the age of 60 will lose some of their ability to taste. This is typically associated with a loss of the taste buds on the tongue and in the throat. The loss of taste is less common than the loss of smell, however, the loss of smell is directly tied to taste. In general, people have five "tastes" that they experience when something comes in contact with the taste buds: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. These tastes do not tell us much…
