Great Thread!

I found this and some other interesting tidbits here.

Factors affecting taste perception

Many factors affect taste perception, including:

Aging
Color/vision impairments
Hormonal influences
Genetic variations; see Phenylthiocarbamide
Oral temperature
Drugs and chemicals
Natural Substances (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit)
CNS Tumors (esp. Temporal lobe lesions) and other neurological causes
Plugged noses
Zinc deficiency

It is also important to consider that flavor is the overall, total sensation induced during mastication (e.g. taste, touch, pain and smell). Smell (olfactory stimulation) plays a major role in flavor perception.

Zinc eh? Gotta go take a multivitamin...

That tastes like Umami.

The wheel isn't very complete.
How about:
Grass
Burning Tire
Green Spray Paint
Brush Fire
Poop

The Wheel guy must be an eternal optomist.

What about foot, or toenail or burning toenail?

Balsa? Really? Was I supposed to be tasting all those airplanes when I was a kid?

I like this wheel, though. It's great to have a list of flavors to call on when trying to do a review. I'll taste something, and if I don't get a clue, they all taste like "tobacco."

The ones used in wine testing/tasting are great to use as well. Here is one I like to use:

This one above is big enough to print out.

I have seen many different flavor wheels and even a few specifically for cigars. Maybe we should do a Cigar Asylum wheel??
