Garlic becomes bitter? I had no idea and I eat the stuff by the bulb.
(To be fair, I don't think oversteeped tea is bitter, either. And I think gin and tonic tastes sweet. So my sense of bitter might be a bit off.)
It's a genetic thing, kind of like how cilantro tastes like soap for some people.
I feel so bad for those people. Cilantro is my favorite spice.
Do you drink coffee? That can kinda fuck with your bitterometer.
Rarely but when I do I drink it black.
The only time garlic becomes “bitter” in my case is if I fry it to charcoal and it’s just little carbon crunchies. But those are more tasteless than bitter. I’ve never encountered bitter garlic now that I think about it.
sounds like the opposite of a supertaster, i'm pretty sure i'm a supertaster and to me tea has no flavour and if there's a single bitter molecule in a dish it's utterly inedible and i need to rinse my mouth.
