Title: taste buds - fyi
Post by: dale on 19-May-10, 10:24:00 PM
"The average person has about 10,000 taste buds. Chickens, by contrast, have just 24... Pigs... have 15,000 taste buds; and cows a whopping 35,000. Surprisingly, catfish have nearly 300,000, including some on the outside of their bodies."

I'm just sayin.

That's all I would need-- taste buds outside my body.  And they would probably crave chocolate too :D

what would be really inconvenient would be if some of them were WAY outside your body, like in Wisconsin or somewhere.

I'd like to have had my taste buds in the White House kitchen yesterday. What Rick Bayless cooked for the state dinner sounds amazing!  Unfortunately, no one's asking. I think to have taste buds outside your body you need to have them on a catfish's skin. Bummer.
