Did you taste sour before? That’s intriguing/scary if that happened as a result of your surgery!!

I did indeed taste “sour.”

I tried lime at a pho restaurant last night, and while I “know” this is what “sour” tastes like (or more like what a lime tastes like, I guess), I wasn’t getting the automatic reactions like sweating up, squinting, tearing up, etc. etc.

Strange strange.  Because it’s not like taste buds are localized, if I remember correctly from my anatomy class. They are spread out all over the place.  But who knows.
