Enneabite: You are what you eat

[chickpea]

I saw something on Dr. Oz (lol) the other day about there being 6 different flavors, and your preference or craving for those flavors says something about your personality.

I am the 1 out of 8 e6s that prefers sweet.

My boyfriend would be e9/savory.

i like both too a lot a lot but decided to go with what i would choose for breakfast more often...which is usually like a pastry or danish of some kind. tho i like delicious savory stuffs too.

anyway...sweet 60 savory 40

I crave bitter/astringent food for the most part: black dark roast coffee, 80% dark chocolate, and greens. I also like spicy, especially Thai & Indian. When I'm severely depressed I eat way more baked goods and sweets in a binge-eating sort of way. I think it's less about wanting comfort and more about being masochistic. I think I have the most non-existent sweet tooth of anyone I know. I've never liked candy, and anything overly sweet is just really unappetizing to me.

why is there a bell curve on the poll results? that makes absolutely no sense.

Savory. I'm really not big on sweets.

My ideal "eat complete garbage" day would include the following menu:

- Lots of pad thai
- salt and vinegar chips
- pickles
- bratwurst

Foods I hate most are bitter/astringent foods, like the foods ^brainheart likes. Yuck to coffee, ick to dark chocolate, bleh to greens, and most of all....

grapefruit!!!

why Starbucks insists on making them at least 50% of the whole damn fruit cup is beyond me

I've definitely got a sweet-tooth. I don't consider myself to be overly upbeat and sociable, though. Quite the opposite.

Savory - Introverted, creative or laidback. May even need control or focus
Sweet - More up-beat and sociable. Carefree more than the savory person

Uh I've got both preferences but a bit more savory

As for personality, again somewhat divided there lol there must be something to this theory

I know someone who absolutely LOVES savory (over sweet), yep he's introverted & creative & kind of laid-back & control & focus. Eh.

Savory > Sweet > Salty > Spicy > Sour

 

[Kanra Jest]

Ugh

My body can't handle sweet things

Therefore

Salty > Sour = Spicy > Sweet

 

[Saturnal Snowqueen]

Spicy>Salty>Sweet>Sour, although I don't dislike any of these. I wondered if I break the trend, but it seems savory flavors are preferred overall. Although I love contrasting flavors, like anything salty or sweet(chocolate pretzels and salted caramel gelato) or spicy chocolate and gummies. I've heard that men tend to prefer salty foods and women sweet, although I don't know how much scientific basis that actually has.

Lol look at all the type 4s eating chocolate because we're all depressed.
