Excuse the completely inappropriate bounce from the heavy
topics in the last posts to this extremely flippant one; I guess I'm aiming for
balance!
I've developed a theory that the world, or should I say the
part of the world that is exposed to westernised confectionery, is divided into
two kinds of people. Those who choose the crèmes in the “Roses” box first
verses those who opt for the nutty/caramel ones first. In our household we are
all nuts and the near empty box is filled with bright pink and orange
stragglers. In comparison our neighbours have the opposite situation with the
bright pink and orange crèmes being the most sought after members of the chocolate
tin.
I also think that based on this information it is possible
to predict whether someone will like “jaffa cakes”, “crème eggs” and “Turkish
Delight”. In general I find that if you’re a crème fan you also like these
delicacies which to me really aren't worth the effort involved in opening the
packet.
In this light I've been thinking about scents and how
perhaps a preference for a particular type of scent might actually be linked to
a preference for a taste. I know that my favourite scents are vanilla,
strawberries and crème, Christmas spice, almond and coconut. I don’t mind
fruity smells like orange and lemon either however I'm not a huge fan of floral
scents or I actually dislike musty/Herby smells like lavender or incense.
I wonder if scent and taste preference are linked.
Do you fit into any of my theoretical categories?
What chocolates do you always choose first? What scents do
you prefer?
Comment below I’d love to know!
