  • Summary

  • Taste: Try and imagine a world where tastes like strawberry, blackcurrant, orange and lemon didn’t exist. No, me neither – it’s too painful to contemplate Now, imagine a world where sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness and savouriness all merged into a single, banal, tasteless experience, regardless of what you have popped into your mouth. Sounds hellish, right? And you’d be right - taste means a lot! Ok, here comes the science bit, concentrate. Taste is the perception produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells, mostly on the tongue. Your tongue is covered with thousands of tiny bumps – or papillae – there are thousands of the little blighters located all over your mouth, but especially on the tongue. A sweet taste usually means carbohydrates are at play, while too great a sour taste suggests something may be beyond their sell-by-date; the taste buds saving you from an upset stomach, or worse... This Deep Dive celebrates that most underrated of sensations, one that makes sustenance all the more exciting. Artists include The Rolling Stones, Placebo, Kyuss, The Beatles, Ride, Mazzy Star and The Red Hot Chili Peppers - tasty! Come and dine with us on Starship Crispy – it’s time to tickle your taste buds.
