Is there any scientific basis on "taste creep?" Example: you've eaten lots of good food and now average food that you used to enjoy grosses you out. (lemmy.world)

Annecdotal, but I definitely enjoy the simplest foods specifically for their simplicity. Things like a fresh loaf of bread with no sauces, a plain bowl of rice straight out of the rice cooker (I'm Asian), or plain roasted sunflower seeds.

Why does rice smell like Cinema or Popcorn or smth.

I don't know if its rice specific and neither do I know what rice I used to cook (I'm not Asian).

Puffy rice is popcorn without the shells that get stuck in your teeth

I can't say I've ever thought rice smells like cinema nor popcorn. I associate the smell with China since I spent my earliest years there. My guess is your brain associated that smell with movies for whatever reason (maybe you always got Chinese food at the mall after the movies or something?)

Pretty sure its totaly wrong. There is no connection.

Chinese food, sushi or Indian Wok, all do not have thr smell, compared to me making a specific rice at home at is entirely unrelated.

Another Person commented with a prpbability of the Mailard Reaction, which sounds like it makes the most sense, but I didn't broke up yhe topic scientifically to say "yeah, that is exactly it"

Probably the maillard reaction

I think this makes a bit sense. Yeah
