Would you eat something that smells terrible?

flavour comes from aroma.

pinch your nose and eat your pizza. you're not gonna like it as much

>flavor comes from aroma

If that were true, then dogs should be the pickiest, most discerning gourmands on earth. But we all know, they'd just as soon eat garbage or rotten meat as a liver pate.

>>9264419
maybe they smell things over the funk that we cant.

>>9264413
yea but there are other tricks for enhancing flavor, like the color of the plate the food is served on. Humans are too easily manipulated. A good chef might be an expert on the aroma of the specific dish he's trying to present, but I don't think that would qualify him to be an expert on aromatics in general though.

there's a difference between orthonasal and retronasal olfaction. we smell things while they're inside our mouths so we get a lot more flavour out of mastication.

also, even if that weren't the case, they could just be programmed to tolerate those kinds of odours. it's not like any smell is inherently good or bad. plus dogs can be picky. my dog has a surgical-tier ability to eat around cucumber or whatever.

without aroma you literally would not be able to tell the difference between different foods. it's not a trick, aroma is arguably the most significant contributor to flavour.

No. Be an expert on plating. If something LOOKS good you brain automatically assumes it is good. If the food is reasonably cooked but plated well, a customer will be happy.

Aroma, or aromatics, is a thing but not as important as cooking food properly and making it look sexy.

>Aroma, or aromatics, is a thing but not as important as cooking food properly and making it look sexy.

cooking food properly involves controlling its aroma.

>>9264471
Explain.

>>9264502

it's a big thing to explain really. a significant portion of the cooking we do every day is focussed specifically on aroma. we choose ingredients for their aroma. herbs and spices are almost exclusively aromatic. searing creates new aroma. things like soups and broths depend pretty heavily on aroma to taste good.

smell is inextricably linked to flavour. what you are doing when you eat food is smashing it up and releasing its smell to your olfactory receptors. the combination of the smell and the taste on your tongue is what produces the flavour.

cooking properly involves making the food taste good, right? well you cannot do that without aroma. you don't want to bruise or overcook vegetables. you don't want to undersear your meat. you don't want your french ice cream to have an eggy note. if you didn't care about aroma, you wouldn't care about this stuff.

at a basic level, when you're cooking you're aiming for the food to taste good, smell good and feel good. because those are the senses we use when we're eating and they're an essential part of the experience.

lack of aroma is a big part of why eating food on a plane or when you have a cold or whatever is so unsatisfying. you couldn't really tell the difference between fresh or concentrated strawberry juice, for instance. it's really important.

i should have known. fuck off dumbass

>>9266932

you clearly have not understood what i am saying.

when food is in your mouth, the flavour of it comes from both its smell and its taste.

appearance affects your perception of the food, yes, but it is not a part of the ongoing experience of eating the food when it is in your mouth.

the dude dropped a thing, it cuts off right before he picks it up

when he said it was fake he meant it it very easily set planned, set up, and shot in advance. it could be done multiple times until the intended shot is perfect. he isn't implying she is a fucking robot or he is a hand drawn animation you autists. or is it a language issuse?

im just going to speak in idioms from on now to screw with you english as a second language people

It was live and is in no way fake. Stay btfo lad. You also clearly have no clue what an idiom actually is.

>>9268426
No, it was real. However he knelt to pick up his bag, so cut that way the clip has a comedic effect.

Just so you know the food you eat is fake
