You think this could be your new favorite dish as you taste the first few spoonfuls. With each bite the flavor becomes less and less pronounced. The last of the bowl seems to have no flavor at all. You take a drink and realize it tastes unfamiliar. Months later, after many hours visiting doctors, you discover the spice in the curry was made from a newly discovered pepper which caused a rare reaction in you, leaving you unable to taste savory foods for the rest of your life.
