I was reading a book recently, "Genius on the Left, Madman on the Right", and there was a chapter in it: the taste of apples, which impressed me deeply.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask myself, what does an apple taste like? He said: "When I cut the peel with my teeth, the original light and fresh taste broke through a critical point and began to gradually spread in the mouth, and the taste gradually changed.
It's so rich. As you slowly chew it, the juice splashes on the tip of your tongue, passing through the dry taste buds absolutely savagely and violently... Every tiny particle in the pulp is scrambling to crack, releasing more apples.
The taste. The peel and flesh are cut into small pieces and move between the teeth, and the taste spreads to every corner of the mouth like a shock wave... The fragrance of the apple slides deep into the throat along with the juice... Oh my God... I was just...
The washed taste buds convey this information to the brain almost religiously... All the senses, after being forgotten for several days, are dominated by spirit and feeling, and come back with an apple! Tsk tsk, now I think of it!
I can't help but drool. "He is a "madman", which is a description from a "madman", but I don't think he is crazy.
At the very least, my taste in food is far inferior to his.
Seeing his overflowing excitement really aroused my desire for Apple. This is not only the author's feeling, but also my feeling at this moment.
I found an apple, washed it, and took the first bite. The juice splashed everywhere, and the fragrance of the apple gradually became richer in my mouth. As I kept chewing, the pulp and the tip collided back and forth, and my taste buds became more and more sensitive.
.
I was shocked as I pushed the processed pulp down my throat.
It seems that I really feel the taste that apples should have, and the original taste spreads in my mouth.
This is the unique fragrance of apples, which lasts in the mouth for a long time.
It’s hard to imagine that before this, I was a person who didn’t like apples.
After this time, I fell in love with eating apples.
To be precise, I fell in love with tasting it.
I was surprised to find that it had been a long time since I tasted food seriously.
Eating is just a formality, and you never know the taste of the food itself.
The taste of whole grains, vegetables, meats, fruits and eggs, I kept recalling the food I had eaten before, but I couldn’t say anything.
I started to observe the people around me and found that everyone was very "busy", even when eating. They couldn't calm down to eat. It seemed that when the food came into the mouth, it rushed to the throat or even the stomach.
How can I taste it if my taste buds haven't reacted yet? I have a colleague Y. Once I ate grapefruit with her, and she once said that I can eat sourness. The reason is that every time I eat oranges or grapefruits with her, she would frown because of the sourness.
I still didn't feel anything. I thought she was too sensitive to sour taste.
Only today did I realize that maybe it’s not Y’s problem, or that I can eat sour food, but that I haven’t had time to taste the sour taste at all.
The characteristic of eating on weekdays is that you put food in your mouth, chew it a few times, and then eat it in a hurry. This is a very bad habit.
At first, it was because I was pressed for time and had to do it out of necessity.
Later, I really developed this bad habit. No matter how much time I had, it would take less than ten minutes to eat, or even faster.
I seemed to forget the taste of food, my taste buds, my sense of taste gradually deteriorated, but luckily I woke up.
Recently, I have been deliberately training my sense of taste to taste the taste of the food itself. Let the food stay in my mouth for a while, which can effectively stimulate my taste buds and discover the beauty in the food.
After tasting apples, I started to taste other flavors, and started a wonderful life of delicious food.
Wanting to enjoy delicious food does not entirely depend on eating delicious food from all over the world, but more importantly, whether you awaken your sense of taste and learn the process of tasting.
Maybe you are very busy in life.
However, please give yourself time for a meal, explore the taste of food, develop your taste buds, awaken your sense of taste, enjoy the beauty of food, and reward your busy self.
