For me I get an intense and nice smell/ flavor of citrus. I can’t pinpoint it, maybe Mandarin. I do not get any kind of numbing / electric feel from it. I have made identical dishes where the only variable is Sichuan Pepper and the result is the same, for me. Some others have a very different experience. I really like the smell and flavor, but I have frankly fucked a few people over when I put in in various dishes or homemade Shichimi .
How do you experience this taste/sensation? And are you a Supertaster?
Reference:
OK, let me say that in my experience, you are the odd one out with this one. Well, for some people, chilantro tastes like soap, and for me caraway seeds is something that should not be put in food. But not feeling the sichuan pepper effect is something I have not heard of before.
Cilantro is delicious, one of my favorite flavors. Caraway seed is horrible stuff, I can’t even say why, it’s just bad. Brussel sprouts taste like metal, as does canned pineapple, fresh pineapple less so especially if it is grilled.
I wish I got that sensation from Sichuan Pepper that everyone else seems to get. I still love it for its (to me) citrusy flavor.
