I actually bought bananas just for this report and I would describe them as sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste. They are definitely not sour or salty but one might argue that they are somewhat savoury. Fun fact: the bananas we eat have been altered by humans so much that they can’t reproduce anymore without us, this is because their seeds have grown too small. Often you can see the small seeds in the middle of the fruit. There are still bananas which don’t need our help but we usually don’t eat those.
Fun Fact: The experience of flavor is actually comprised of both taste and smell. Taste only registers whether something is salty, sweet, sour, bitter, or savory. When the taste combines with the aroma while eating, you get something’s flavor. If you pinch your nose while eating a food whose flavor you know well, you’ll see you only get its basic taste. So, it might be more accurate to say you’re not good at smelling. 😂
I would say a banana's taste is sweet and spreads slowly when very ripe , if it starts to rippen a lot more it starts to be slightly vinegary taste without the acidity and the pungent fruity aroma isn't fully leaning into sweetnes due to a little bit blank taste thrown in there ( blank taste being something that just dials down a flavour , the feeling of breathing with your mouth open decently clean air makes you feel the same blankness in taste
I started eating a banana the moment you started talking about bananas, so that was a bit strange. Tastes sort of like if you removed all the sourness from a lemon, cranked up the sweetness and made it creamy instead of sharp, I guess?
I think Invigorating Solution has to be correct, it's an etch that draws cards. And a very good card to loop with Etchings since it helps draw through the rest of the deck.
The easiest way to describe how a banana tastes is, if you put it in a blender with some milk and then drink it. Nothing big to the flavour itself, but the texture reminds me off putting some kind of a Sauce thickener with some wheat to it.
Bananas have a very, very strong flavour, especially as they ripen more. When green, they are quite mild and almost a bit sour in a way. However, as they go more yellow they become nice and sweet with a very, very, very slight tang. Not an acidic or sour tang, but enough of a tang that you know it is finally ripe. Almost like the sugar in the banana is a fraction of what you might find on a tangy sweet. If it over-ripe, and the outside is very brown, then it can become sickly sweet, and that tang cam become overpowering and, at the extreme end of over-ripe, unpleasant.
Not fully related, but also something I found weird about my tastes, I really dislike spicy food, even when the spice is completely tolerable. I feel like anything more than a very small amount of spice completely dulls my "taste" and I can no longer taste flavour besides salty, sweet savoury etc. I didn't understand how people can enjoy spicy foods but maybe it doesn't affect their taste to the same degree.
That's a very real issue with too much spiciness in food. For me it works because I can't really taste very well, so it takes a lot of spice to get there, but in principal I super agree with you.
