Question: How do taste buds control which foods you like and dislike?

I’m not sure to what extent they do! I suspect having a different set of receptors in your mouth and nose might contribute to how you perceive the aroma of food, but I think a lot of preference has to do with your brain, your memories and your experiences.

I’m not an expert on food preferences, though, take what I say with a grain of salt! Pun intended. 🙂
