I fall into the category of "Supertaster".
Dental hygienists and dentists have taken one look at my tongue and always comment on how they've never seen someone with as many papillae on their tongues as me.
They'll even call over other workers to look at my tongue as they grab it with tongs and twist it around and "ooh" & "aaaaah" over it.
I'm definitely a "picky" eater.
I can force myself to eat lots of things, but it's often torture of a sorts.
My grandma in Louisiana used to call me a "fancy mouth".
My wife says I have a sense of taste that's in an arrested state of development.
The reality is that it's a survival tool that forces me to not eat things of questionable safety.
(the broccoli in my current avatar is a lie. I HATE broccoli. Makes me puke.)
