I tasted a Dominoes pizza once - it was rather nasty.

I used to do storage testing for Allied Lyons and my sense of taste is quite acute, I was banned from giving opinions on cross contamination from printing inks at a cardboard box factory because I could not only pick up the taint I could tell which colour it was - probably - the solvents were different.

I could smell and taste mutton in beef long before the BSE crisis, but never realised why. It stopped me buying it.

The pizza topping tasted decidedly old - even though it was freshly cooked. Thank goodness it was baked at high temperatures, it probably sterilized the topping - sometimes food really should be thrown away.

I can't drink Starbucks coffee - I tasted that once, the beans were burnt.
