Now I want to gather as many different mangoes as possible, pig out on them, and try to experience this for myself. So far I don’t think I know of anything with a taste I would associage with black pepper other than itself. Same with white. The red pepper variety that makes your mouth numb made me feel like I was almost reminded by something else, but I could never figure it out.

I’m also kind of wondering if anyone has done much research on how taste works for different people or different animals. I remember the tastes being associated with different zones on the tongue being taught in school which turned out to be bullshit.
