Over here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6374955) you say, "I never quite acquired a taste for more refined liquors."

Why not? I'm afraid you haven't had anything good. There's no reason you shouldn't like "more refined" (good) products if you like the bad ones. Also, it's not just the quality of the product. For instance, Jaegermeister is a quality product, but the drink he makes with it is arbitrary. Would you like a tomato, peanut butter, and mustard sandwich?

The offer stands. Take me up. I'll buy you a drink.



I have a very insensitive palette, which is probably to blame for apathy when it comes to variation. Most coffees, liquors, other drinks, tobacco products, and even foods taste almost exactly the same to me, despite consuming different brands/combinations/recipes of all of them for years, whereas my peers have developed discernible tastes when it comes to such things.

Or it could be as you say and I've never really indulged in what could be considered truly superior products. Sometimes I'm not really sure.

I will indeed. I'm curious if it's just me.


Honest question....are you a tobacco user? If so, that explains it. I am, and also have an insensitive pallette. Never notice it except in those "quitting" passes.


Open-face peanut butter and tomato happens to be an excellent sand which, BTW :) requires a good tomato. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of garlic salt or chili powder.
