Gustatory is a word in NLP that describes your ability to taste things using your sense of taste.
We eat, the brain translates the taste to something it can identify and maybe recognise from the past. This taste gets linked to the memory and becomes available to the brain for future reference. Thus we recognise and can label the taste of foods and drinks.
It is one of our internal representations.
Gustatory Acuity
Your ability to identify taste.
Improve your gustatory acuity:
- Eat blindfolded.
- When you put a bit of food in your mouth put your fork down and then you can concentrate on what is in your mouth rather than what you are going to put in your mouth next.
- Chew well and breath through your nose.
