Fascinating read, thank you! I work as a chocolate educator, and explaining how flavours are perceived and that taste is actually in the brain more than just on our tongue is always a challenge. Grateful for this thorough article about the neuroscience background.
🖐🏼Question: What if you've never tasted a particular word. Say, a lemon, how would you make the taste sensation connection? I've never tasted a durian fruit, so if I had Lexical-Gustatory it wouldn't make sense that I would be able to taste the word. You must have the connection made through experience, right? With that being said, each new experience would add new flavors to your dictionary...🤔

This was both fun and fascinating! The word lemon makes me salivate. Can’t say I taste lemon though.
