Taste as Experience puts the pleasure of food at the center of
human experience. It shows how the sense of taste informs our
preferences for and relationship to nature, pushes us toward
ethical practices of consumption, and impresses upon us the
importance of aesthetics. Eating is often dismissed as a necessary
aspect of survival, and our personal enjoyment of food is
considered a quirk. Nicola Perullo sees food as the only portion of
the world we take in on a daily basis, constituting our first and
most significant encounter with the earth. Perullo has long
observed people's food practices and has listened to their food
experiences. He draws on years of research to explain the complex
meanings behind our food choices and the thinking that accompanies
our gustatory actions. He also considers our indifference toward
food as a force influencing us as much as engagement. For Perullo,
taste is value and wisdom. It cannot be reduced to mere chemical or
cultural factors but embodies the quality and quantity of our
earthly experience.
