How we learn to love beer, broccoli and bitters

"We test whether we can survive our meal"

Some people like broccoli, others turn up their noses when they see the green florets on their plates. Sensory expert Dipl.-Ing. Kirsten Buchecker explains how we can train and change our sense of taste in the podcast of the ZEIT WISSEN series. Buchecker, who trains students at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences on the Food Technology and Business degree programme in sensory science, also explains why emotions influence whether something tastes good or not.
