I voted sour. Maybe bitter. I was really hoping for an option of rotten or putrid. Duh, that is the logical choice.

Bacon.

I am down with savory

Definitely bitter that is the one taste that keeps your from poisoning yourself.

I'm watching this movie "Empire of Scents" on netflix that seemed to go along with this question by @silvereyes. We may find a person to be the epitome of our dream person, but if we don't like his or her smell, we'll walk away. We can't get that with online dating. Unless, of course,...

Anybody want to send me his t-shirt?

Where is the " buttery" category?!? Stupid poll......

bitter might avert you from poisoning oneself

Yes, I believe... I believe I’ll have a scotch.

I would choose bitter because avoiding sweet and savory flavor so would help me lose weight, avoiding salty would lower my blood pressure, and being able to recognize bitter flavor could help me avoid being poisoned.

Bitter so I can eat less.

I am not a fan of sweet nor sour or bitter. I rarely use salt, but rather, I work with herbs and spices. I am not a huge fan of straight up salt either. The only thing that appealed to me out of the group was Savory. haha

Dark chocolate. I didn't even have to think about it.

I couldn't vote.

Mine is a tossup between:

Chocolate icecream with strawberries.

Chocolate icecream with pineapple.

Garlic bread.

Lasagna with garlic in abundanza.

Cinnamon with sugar.

Roasted Hatch chiles in cream sauce.

Chile colorado with sharp cheddar cheese.

Chocolate icecream with raspberries.

Chocolate icecream with chocolate syrup.

The cure to every food's blandness at first isssssss.......................salt!!!

Chocolate is my drug of choice.

Sigh I went with sweet. I was torn so I just went with one of my favs.

as a constantly relapsing sugar addict - 1 binge equating about half a kilo of chocolate - i know which one NOT to choose. apart from sweet there's only one that's complete enough for my taste buds: savoury.

Savory, the hotter the better until I can't eat it anymore.

I voted sour because it was the closest to being able to tell if something is no longer edible.

Coffee!

I can';t even vote on this one. I need my tongue for many things. I can't imagine any limitations on my tongue.

This is not fair. Might even be cruel and defiantly unusual. I am gourmet, and I can cook W/O a recipe.
I suppose if I was facing the guillotine if I did not choose Hmmm it would be let me eat or let me die!
No that will never do -- You win -- I choose savory

Combinations of flavors produce the most delightful tastes -- sweet and sour or tangy, bitter and sweet, tangy and peppery, etc.

I've gone with savoury because in general I prefer it, However, if I was limited to one type of food as well as one flavour, I'd have chosen sweet so I could dtill eat marzipan.
