As far as I am concerned my own sense of taste is actually assisted by
regular doses of our favorite fruits. The only time I can say that my taste
has been impaired has been when I overindulged in something way out of my
league or used a hotsauce that was too heavy in the vinegar taste.
Maybe the capsicum opens some pores(?) in our tongue? I don't know, but Im
not going to stop eating chile peppers either.
Just my two cents!
