    So, a weird question. Out of the five tastes we're told about as children, which is your favourite?

    Mine is sweet, followed by salty then savoury.

    Most certainly savoury. Sweet things are nice, but you can have too much sweet things whereas, I can never have too many savoury things except for, you know, having too much food.

    Savory/salty. Sweet is nice after eating something savory or salty, but I can get "sweeted out" pretty easily :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Sweet. Unlike you guys, I don't really like salty stuff and get "salted out" easily, sugar on the other hand...

    Sweet for me, then savoury. I'm not particularly fond of salt and I never add it to my food. I cannot understand people who grab for the salt pot at every meal time.

    I actually love sour things. I like eating lemons. I have a crazy sweet tooth though.

    It is a grave sin that spicy was overlooked in the poll. Spicy is my life.

    Bitter.

    I like it because it balances the fact that I'm so sweet; has a yin-yang sort of effect.

    Also, it reminds of that line in a poem by Stephen Crane:

    In the desert
    I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
    Who, squatting upon the ground,
    Held his heart in his hands,
    And ate of it.
    I said, “Is it good, friend?”
    “It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

    “But I like it
    “Because it is bitter,
    “And because it is my heart.”

    ---S. Crane, 1895-ish

    It depends. I usually like sweet stuff, such as sweet tea, caramel, and dark chocolate. :slight_smile:
