However, these are all 'taste' issues (and of course can be masked / changed by using additional flavouring or cooking techniques). I don't have a food texture issue (like some people will eat yogurt or drink orange if it has 'bits' in). Cheers, T i m

You're all beyond reason. People just have different palettes, and differnt tastes. Heck, Marmite have an entire advertising campaign based around that fact.

Maybe so, but we are discussing the issues some of us have with the taste of the specific stuff (like sprouts) that we can buy now and presumably have bought readily over many years. I'm sure that if we tried sprouts that were hand reared on honey they may well taste better to us but that's not how sprouts are typically grown are they? > >And yet you people think you've got it all fully characterised and fixed >and nailed down.
