I started vaping in October of last year while still hanging on to a few analogs a day or week. I thought that my taste buds were pretty good even after 37+ years of heavy smoking. I was, after all a pretty good cook. You have to have good taste buds for that to recognize the nuances in flavors. However, after a couple of weeks without analogs, there ARE differences. These days, I'm more of a fast food, junk food person rather than a gourmet, but even those tastes are changing. All of a sudden I find myself addicted to Lay's wavy Hickory Barbecue potato chips. A friend introduced me to Nutella a couple of years ago, and I thought that it was pretty good. About a week ago, I found about 1/4 jar of it and tried it. OMG! It was like it had been "new and improved"!! Being originally from SW Louisiana, I've had my share of (good) pecan pie, but even while still occasionally using analogs on Christmas eve, I had what was the BEST pecan pie I'd ever tasted in Arkansas. On the other hand, my favorite fast food burger for years has been the "cheese whopper". I had one about a week ago and could only think "Ewww! This used to taste good?" So, what about you?? Are you surprised by any foods that you can taste now?
I've found that Altoids help!
