Random Question of the Day

Why does a lot of cheese smell really bad, and yet taste so delicious? Like blue cheese for instance. It smells like dirty gym socks, and yet I love to crumble it all over my salad. I consulted an expert, Jennifer Williams, Licensed Nurse Practitioner, on this matter.

"It doesn't make sense," Williams said, "as your olfactory sensor and taste sensor are connected together."

I guess we'll never know.

for clarification, I am just a regular registered nurse and not a Nurse Practitioner (which is closer to a doctor than a nurse). :)

I still have not figured out the cheese question. I guess it is kinda like Indian food for me...the smell of curry makes me want to gag, but Indian food is so delicious!

Wow. I didn't know there was a distinction. Well, we all know I tend to exaggerate on occasion!
