Your Nose Knows Best: The Science of Flavour

[@abhi1985pradhan]

Lot of information which I got introduced to first time...Your detailed and scientific research about the topic has made me your big admirer. I always had wondered how people often make a derogatory review about a restaurant or any place that serves food, based on how it tastes to them which is such a personal thing and at the same time make a hype about specific places how their particular dishes are a must try forgetting absolutely that what tastes fine to you may not be so palatable for another. Much thanks to you for putting forth the reasons behind it so analytically!

Hi Krish, Requesting you to please make such a detailed video about this topic that no one else has - meaning of fats such as saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, trans fat, omega 3 6 9…what do these even mean for us consumers? They sound so confusing. How do we know what’s good for us and what must we avoid? What does the word cholesterol mean? Should we choose our cooking oil based on these terms? Also, if possible - how do these terms impact the numbers on our lipid profile test - LDL, HDL and Triglycerides? And what must we do if my Triglycerides are high, etc.? Hope this is not too much to ask. Thanks in advance for your help 🙏

Hi Kriss, This was very intreasting. I have more of one different experience and trying to corelate with this video for better understanding. I don't feel any great taste of vegetables cooked in bangalore. But when I go to any other cities, I experience all the flavors you mentioned in this video. Even many of my friend says the same Do you have any comments.

[@krishashok]

Each one of us has specific nostalgic/memories of flavours of foods - including vegetables. It's possible you might prefer the flavours from other places

[@7guitarlover]

Nice video. I get the rain analogy of pakoda and tea....contast to geography adds flavor . But I always had one doubt, at times even in Hotter Geographical locations people tend to eat chilly and spices (ex -Rajasthani food or southern India ). Is there a reason for that or am i missing something ?

Out of syllabus question. Your vocabulary is so good (and "so good", here, is an understatement). Did you read a lot of books growing up? or did you do something specific to improve your vocabulary? (Asking this because I recently became a freelance content writer and would definitely need guidance)

[@krishashok]

a lot of books, yes, but speaking vocabulary also comes from public speaking in a wide variety of settings - used to be into JAM in college where a lot of real time word creativity is required. And humour writing

[@SaBoTeUr2001]

Speaking of food nostalgia, I grew up eating oats porridge cooked in milk with sugar and sometimes cinnamon. So when I heard of the Scottish way of eating oats, simply boiled in water with a bit of salt, I thought, ugh, I can never eat that. But then I also grew up eating jok/congee/lugaw, which in it's simplest form is rice boiled into a porridge, and a bit of salt. So I decided one day, I will try the Scottish oats, but tell myself it's jok, and what do you know? It worked. It wasn't as horrible as I expected.

[@90kritikadas]

taking a segue here... Am I the only one who doesn't hate airline food? Or railway food for that matter. Just the fact that someone is bringing you hot food, neatly packed in different compartments, the contents of which are a total surprise for you, while you are mid-air or hurtling through the forests of Central India, is an experience I always look forward to no matter how poor the quality of the food may be. I am a frequent flyer now but the delight of opening that tray of food hasn't diminished since my first journey ☺️

7:10 Hey doesn't that mean people who are adapted to living in high elevations like tibetans already have a biological analogue of this trick doing this naturally to boost retronasal olfaction ?

[@krishashok]

People who live in high altitudes have some adaptations for these challenges but do remember that flight altitude is WAY higher than the highest altitude humans live (typically 12-13K feet at best)

[@PluetoeInc.]

@@krishashok No no I get it but The cabin pressure in an airplane can range from 101 kPa (14.7 psi) at sea level on the ground to 75 kPa (10.9 psi) in flight, regardless of the altitude. At cruising altitude, the cabin pressure is around 11-12 pounds per square inch (PSI), which is similar to the pressure at a mountain altitude of 6,000-8,000 feet. tibet's elevation is around 10000-15000 feet which has pressures >8.29 psi , so tibet should experience harsher pressure differentials , right?
