To ask if you can taste the difference in pasta colours?

[skyofdiamonds]

Can you taste the difference between green, red and plain ones?!

I can’t and never have been able to yet find myself buying them to re evaluate.

I can taste a textural difference but I'm almost certainly autistic and have numerous other sensory processing differences. DC who are autistic can also taste a textural difference in them.

I think I can … but I suspect that it’s in my imagination

Definitely.

I think I can but I haven’t done a blind taste test so I suspect it is my imagination too. My kids won’t eat the green tagliatelle.

green definitely tastes different from yellow. Not sure about red though.

Yes I can - the red ones are kind of tomatoey and the green taste of green vegetable - it doesn’t really think taste of spinach as such. Spinach pasta for lasagne is yum!

I can.
And I can taste the difference between pink and white marshmallows, even when blindfolded.
Green pasta has spinach in, and the red pasta has tomato.

On a slightly related point, we had macaroni for dinner an hour ago.
I commented that its amazing how different shapes of pasta taste different even when the same colour). DS told me they taste the same to him (so it must be my imagination).

I can if I'm eating say all the green ones in a row. If it's all mixed up or with tomato sauce then no

Finally, a thread addressing the important issues! I definitely can with the green pasta - not so sure about the other colours. Now I want to do a blind taste test!

The texture of different shapes is far more important than the colours I find.

And I can pick out posh pasta from cheap!

They taste completely different to me. I don’t like the coloured ones at all, but they are often either fusilli or tagliatelle, which are my least favourite shapes, so that puts me off too.

I can with fresh pasta. I've also never had the squid ink one as I'm vegetarian and don't feel like that's something I want to eat. But I'm also funny about milk!

No

No.

I am autistic and very texture sensitive - I can definitely taste the difference too!

I can't but one of my DC (the fussiest) is convinced he can.

Yes

I’ve had the squid ink one - you would definitely taste that!

I can't but I never eat them without sauce on them, so I s'pose that's why.

I can't but my adult DS can.

I can with some fresh pasta but for example I have dried tri-colour fusilli in the cupboard and no I can't taste a difference between the colours even though i try/want to! Lol

I'm still traumatised from being made to eat coloured pasta for school dinners. Plain, boiled, and passed off as 'salad'. White and green were fine. But red, dear god, it was foul. Just the thought of it is making me feel ill.

Yes, green is the best. Also, yellow mini eggs!

Yes! And it was confirmed in my DNA traits that I have a more sensitive taste pallet thingy
