    I just learned from another thread that mine is… fantasizing smells and flavors, and being able to mentally combine them to know what two ingredients will taste like together before I combine them. Apparently not everyone can do this?

      Didn’t knew this was not normal. Although I’ve screwed with mine by moving. Some stuff tastes slightly different from what I expect, and those small differences accumulate. But I suppose I’ll eventually get used to the ingredients here and it will come back.

      I can do this. I’m also good at trying food at a restaurant, then recreating the flavors at home.

      As far as I’m aware, this is a skill that can be learned by training your palate

      Have you read The perfume by Patrick Süskind? You sound like a real-life Grenouille. Without the murdering, hopefully :D
