Q: I've heard that food tastes a little different when eaten with the hadn opposte the one usually used. My friends and I tried this, and it's true. Why?
A: Taste receptors are arrayed symmetrically, with certain areas sensitive to sweet and salty flavors while others are tuned to sour and bitter flavors. When you use your favored hand to place food inside your mouth - especially with a utensil such as a fork or spoon - you do it the same way again and again. But if you use your other hand, the food arrives from an unfamiliar angel and traverses a somewhat different path of taste buds. The change is unimportant but noticeable.
