now, see, this is evidence everyone is different. Most food tastes normal (-ish) to me but only recently did beer start to taste normal. The thing I appear to have lost is a taste for wine; I don't know if this because my taste buds have changed or because I didn't drink any for so long that I lost my taste for it. Bit sad, but not something I'm spending a lot of time mourning. Chocolate, on the other hand, was one of the first things to taste good. Hurray for that -- given a choice between chocolate and wine, I'd have to say chocolate almost every time.
