The Map of the Tongue 1. There were 4 flavors; sweet, salt, sour, and bitter. NOT! 2. You tasted sweet on the tip of the tongue, salt towards the front, but on the sides. Sour was tasted on the sides behind the salt sensors, and bitter was tasted in the back. There are actually at least 5 flavors we can taste; sweet, salt, sour, bitter, and umami (the taste of glutamate MSG). AND you taste all of them all over your tongue!!!
Lesson learned from Glorioso s Italian Market in Milwaukee, WI It is a smallish local store It has one location with good customer service, and they tripled wine sales and doubled the size of their wine department in ONE year when they added information that enabled their customers to learn more about the wines they liked, and the foods (the store sold) that went with them. ~ Increases understanding of components/elements. ~ By suggesting food pairings encourages use in everyday life.
