That is irrelevant and beside the point. The point is that you don’t need to taste something to know it’s no good.
That’s a pretty bad analogy. If you don’t taste it, in all but the rarest of cases you won’t know, unless you hear from someone else who did.
There are countless examples of food that you would think tastes bad, but doesn’t.
Blue vein cheese. Originally ’invented’ when a livestock herder left his cheese in a cave. When he came back to eat it, it had become mouldy. Being hungry he tried it anyway only to discover it was better than the original cheese! For years that single cave in Roquefort was being filled up with cheese to get infected by the mould to make
It “better”.
Or Lewak coffee. Someone had the idea to make a coffee from the beans that a little marsupial shat out it’s ass after eating coffee berries. Logically you wouldn’t instantly think, let’s make coffee from beans that came from a cats ass. But it’s actually really nice.
Durian fruit. Smells absolutely disgusting. Like the worst smell ever. So bad it’s banned in many areas. But it tastes beautiful.
All sorts of mould and fungus. Truffles or example.
There’s quite a list of delicious food that at first look or smell seems like it’s going to be disgusting, but is quite delicious.
If someone didn’t taste those things none of us would know they are nice.
