Lately I've been baking salty bread rolls, some with pepper and tomatoe, some plain. My mother complained because she wanted to put marmelade on her, so I grabbed a pack of cinnamon sugar to sweeten a plain batch a bit... except that the baked bread rolls smell intesily like cinnamon and sweets but actually still taste only like plain and salty bread roll.

Whenever I eat one of them my nose and my mouth tend to send mixed signals to my brain, making the act of eating very very confusing.

So FS! what about you, ever eaten something that tasted completely different from what you imagined/smelled? Was it a better experience? Was it a self-made concoction? Share you strange food stories here.

Coffee. Always coffee. I love the smell but the taste isn't even close to how it smells and that sucks.

I kind of have this too. I loathe the taste of coffee, but sometimes I just want to sink my nose into a strong cup of it.

Freshly ground coffee bean smell soooo good and freshly brewed coffee too, but the resulting drink is so ... dissatisfying compared to the smell.

Hmm... maybe it's the the way it's made? The water? Or quite possibly, the quality of the grounds?

I find McDonald's coffee or Dunkin' Donuts or hotel restaurant's coffee to be better than the stuff I brew at work. But I always dislike having to use the plastic coffee maker with our supposedly "filtered" water. Coffee smells wonderful, but it never tastes as good as the restaurants, or even when I make it at home.

I have experimented with different grounds... it's true the fresh ground coffee is wonderful, but unless it's stored in a foil bag, they sour after a week or so, and it really affects the taste.

Water matters too. Don't use fluoridated water, but if you have to, find a good fluoride filter. There really is a difference. I've noticed if I use fluoridated water too much, I have to clean out the coffee maker with vinegar/water solution or else I can't taste the coffee.

And speaking of coffee makers, I've heard Mr. Coffee is making a richy bitchy new coffee maker. If it's made with metal parts, I will be so stoked.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just that I don't like the taste in general XD

My parents have a Jura coffee maker that grinds the beans just before brewing so that's about as fresh as it gets and I'm not a fan (I don't find coffee totally disgusting, just.. not quite my taste). While the beans they sell in my country tend to be a bit on the sour side, I have had different kinds and it's always too sour for my taste. We have pretty great water as is (our tap water is perfect as is) so it's not the water, either.

But thanks for all those tips! I guess it's just that I'm not the greatest coffee drinker in the world. Although I'm a big fan of espresso+hot chocolate.

I had root beer oil and tried making root beer cookies but they were bland even though they smelled good.

Ohh, that reminds me of the Cherry 7up cupcakes I made some time ago. Smelled deliciously like artificial cherry (the only artificial flavouring I really love) but didn't really taste like it. :(

You just described coffee for me. It's smells wonderful. But, God, I hate the taste. How can something that smells so delicious taste so non-delicious?

I once had a Belgian waffle with an apple topping and somehow all of this tasted like the cream/mushroom/bacon sauce my dad would sometimes make to serve on pasta. I had not ordered any bacon and there were no mushrooms involved at all and no cream in the topping. It was really, really weird.

Stuff has pretty much always tasted and smelled the same to me. I don't think I have a very nuanced palate, though. (That may be why my favorite food is pizza - see thread above)

Nattō.

It's not that the taste was unexpected (or as unexpected as you can get with whole fermented soy beans) but holy shit that texture was slimier than two giant okras having okra sex in a pool of cinnamon mucus and climaxing D:

I've been working the nerve up to buy another pack... I really do want to get used to it because I understand it's better for you than unfermented soy.

Tea with "natural aroma" in it. It smells so good, and then you taste it and you're just like "well this just tastes like shitty green tea".

Green tea, Rooibos, and Camomile. Green tea just tastes raw and the other two are too different to tea for me to drink.
