Still, there appear to be seven primary
odors--camphorlike, musky, floral, peppermintlike, ethereal (like
dry-cleaning fluid), pungent (vinegarlike), and putrid. They
correspond to the seven types of smell receptors in the olfactory-cell
hairs
When the food is high energy, we taste it as sweet. When the food
contains certain chemicals it tastes salty.
Heated food releases more molecules to the air and to the saliva and
thus is easier to smell and taste.
Children have more taste buds than adults. Women have more taste buds
than men. They experience tastes much more intensely. Adults have c.
9000 taste buds on and around the tongue.

S/he (Etymology)
The widespread use of the word "she" as the female singular pronoun is
astoundingly new.
The word "she" existed in both Middle English, where it was written as
"scae", or "sche" and in Old English where it was "sio", or (as in
Norsk-Viking languages) "seo", or, in the accusative, sie.
But women simply did not deserve a pronoun all their own.
