Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma. Don't get me wrong, I just watched the first episode and I'm digging it like really hard... But they got a new take on saying "This tastes good!"

Here's what I'm talking about though. I think they go overboard with it, but yes food does set off some people's buttons IRL, including their H button.

From Brainfacts.org

Just as sound is the perception of changes in air pressure and sight the perception of light, tastes and smells are the perception of chemicals in the air or in our food. Separate senses with their own receptor organs, taste and smell are nonetheless intimately entwined.

This close relationship is most apparent in how we perceive the flavors of food. As anyone with a head cold can attest, food “tastes” different when the sense of smell is impaired. Actually, what is really being affected is the flavor of the food, or the combination of taste and smell. That’s because only the taste, not the food odors, are being detected. Taste itself is focused on distinguishing chemicals that have a sweet, salty, sour, bitter, or umami taste (umami is Japanese for “savory”). However, interactions between the senses of taste and smell enhance our perceptions of the foods we eat.

And then the screen fades to white. Heh heh.

And this is the tame scene compared to what happens at the end where Soma serves up a stuffed potato bacon loaf topped with rosemary. Gonna figure out that recipe later on too.
