Ask Martha: Difference Between 3 Hard Italian Cheeses

I'm saving this as a reminder of the difference between Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padano and Pecorino Romano! (Source: Martha Stewart Living Magazine, September 2021, p.48)

Are you a super-taster?

Are you a super-taster? 

I'm not based on the first test below : (

Take these two tests to find out.
1.
Take one packet of artificial sweetener and combine it with two-thirds of a cup of water. If the water tastes mostly sweet, you’re an under-taster. If bitterness dominates, you’re a super-taster. If you experience both flavors, you’re a normal taste.

2. Using a Q-tip dipped in blue food coloring, swab your tongue’s surface. In general, the bluer it looks, the fewer taste buds you have. The more pink spots (densely clustered), the more sensitive you are.
