Things that inexplicably taste better when you change their shape

[BakedPotatoBeansCheeseColeslaw]

Cheddar cheese just tastes better to me if you grate it first and then eat it in little squished up balls of grated cheese 🤣

What else tastes better when you change its shape but don’t do anything else to it?

Had them force-fed to me at meal after meal as a child in the 60's/70's by my mother who was not an adventurous cook. Butter was not to be wasted on potatoes by DM either, she lived through WW2 rationing and was frugal beyond the point of reason on some things.

I like every other kind of potato going, just not those; even though I do actually have Irish ancestry on one side of my family tree. They left Ireland for Liverpool during the potato famine.

I complain to my DH regularly that he has put my tea in a “coffee” mug and my coffee in a “tea” mug!

Especially if slightly burnt ❤️

Some pasta shapes taste better than others

Absolutely.
