Not For Nothin'

Consider yourself a foodie?

You're probably wired differently. According to a new study, food snobs -- as they like to call themselves --  enjoy different tastes than the rest of us commoners.

[They] favor three distinct flavor characteristics above all others: bitter, such as radicchio or kale (62%); umami (a Japanese word meaning pleasant savory taste), such as soy sauce and miso soup (61%); and sour, such as plain yogurt and sourdough bread (59%), according to a new, national online survey of more than 500 consumers by the research firm Culinary Visions Panel. Foodie flavor preferences are in stark contrast to that of the general population, whose favorite flavor characteristics are far more familiar: sweet (81%) and salty (67%).

So you foodies out there obviously wouldn't mind if I ate all of your fries?

They're not bitter enough for you, anyway.
