Rick Rider said:My sister-in-law has the remarkable knack of being able to taste things and
discern the
ingredients. It may take more than once, but she gets it. Is there a way to
cultivate
this talent?More than once I have attempted to recreate a dish with disastrous results.
My palette
seems to be less trained than hers.
I can often do this, too. I think the ability comes from having done a
lot of cooking, trying out various combinations, not following recipes
necessarily to the letter after the first time... basically having
culinary curiosity.

"And what's this [censored] about Sodomites? It's always Sodomites this and
Sodomites that. What about us Gomorrahians? We were there too; we
deserve some mention. Sodom always gets the credit, and Gomorrah always
does the work." - JohnN in alt.religion.christian.episcopal
