as usual, popular science reporting is based in fact, but misstates it. there are many flavors, but only five basic tastes. the spicy sensations you refer to are touch senses: it is well known that capsaicin spiciness can be felt on most skin, not just in the mouth. therefore, it is better classified as a pain or thermal sensation, not a taste. |
