I’m a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.
But you’ve got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I’d bite into an onion like it was an apple before I’d drink a diet soda.
Also, mayo is delicious.
Really every super taster i know drinks diet,soda like it’s going out of style. And cooking an onion works for people that are not super tasters but ones that are still usually overwhelmed from the small sample size I’ve met over the years.
Were you a smoker at any point perhaps?
No, I’ve never smoked. I looked it up, and it seems the trend is generally that super tasters prefer real sugar over fake. Obviously everyone is different though.
But I can detect the faintest bit of artificial sweetener. It’s very unpleasant.
