Well, can you? This is just an out-of-curiosity research. I found out (in school) that 30% of the Danish population can't taste bitterness, which aroused my curiosity as to how big a percentage can't on a more global scale. With this forum being the most suited for my personal little research (1. I won't get lynched by trolls, 2. There are members from all over the world, and 3. There are a lot of members in here), i figured i should post it here.

So, it's a simple yes/no question, really. Can you taste bitterness? I can. Blech. Sometimes i wish i couldn't. >.>

yes, it would be rather interesting to not taste things :s

although bitterness can be nice, can balance out an extremly sweet dish, or something.

They're bound to have heard/read about bitterness at least once in their lifetime, or at least heard a "BLECH" when someone else ate something bitter, while they can't taste it themselves.

Anyways, interesting results so far, 100% who can taste it. Surely, there must be at least one who can't taste it?

Lemons are sour, if anything. A bit bitter, maybe, but mostly sour, if you ask me. Limes are even more sour.
... I really need to find a reliable and readily available source of bitterness. >.>
