Another funny article. :D
Each to his own. You do not have to taste if you do not want to but I have never "met" a person that is doing this (or better said not doing haha).
However, the outcome is the most important thing, I guess; but tasting while you are cooking is great too, imo.
When you don't ever taste test, there's kind of like an effect that happens: Like imagine if you're blind, a part of that is that you learn to use your other senses in ways that would never develop if you could see. So by not tasting, I learn to be more automatically in tune with what I'm doing and what I probably just made it taste like.
That sounds legit somehow. It must be pretty difficult sometimes but that is a mad skill to my mind.
Props to you if you are really that aware of your cooking. I would probably mess it up (sometimes, not always - depends on the recipe and the approach/method of cooking). ;D
Regarding the paragraphs after this quotation.
I am very good at tasting (that sounds weird/pretty stupid somehow but it is the truth); but I still understand you bro. Seems legit if you are not that fan of tasting.
ya! like... I could probably GET good at tasting... and to clarify, it isn't like I think my sense of taste is weak or something, when I sit down and eat food normally I'm definitely tasting the f*#k out of it..
basically it's that I don't feel like I identify flavors correctly, like when I'm deliberately trying to decide what it tastes like I don't feel like I really know what I'm looking for or have real clear answers in my mind whether it tasted right or not
I probably am leaning on smell and sight in a lot of cases, whether consciously or not.
I'm one of a kind, Mr Gandalf, I'm one of a kind!
There may be plenty of people who don't taste (just because, whatever, they don't really think about it or care), but I'm probably one of the few who writes blogs about it and actually endorses the idea of not tasting, lul.
Of course you can, I reckon. Ah, okay, I was not completely sure what you exactly mean, now I know. Lol
Ah, well haha, now I really know what you mean haha. But I think you would only need to taste more often and try to recognize/identify it.
I guess so too.
Haha, me too bro, me too. ;D But I absolutely believe you (no offense, naturally), at least you seem to think about a lot of stuff others do not think about. I like that. Not a "stupid sheeple-person" haha.
Haha, word. :D
