When I told my nephew that everything tastes like cardboard... he figured depending on the cook this could be an improvement!! So I told my sister and she smacked him.

It is true that you have to be patient, I am not quite a year out of the rads and all of a sudden I notice recovered taste for some food that is sustained and can all of a sudden tolerate other things.

Salami (a good italian) tastes like salami again!! It is a slow process however.
