Feeling in the Nose, Mouth and Throat

Besides the taste on the tongue and the smell in the nose, there are many other sensations that are very important when eating. These are often summarized under the term “mouthfeel”. In this chapter we are going to look at what parts this mouthfeel breaks down into when we look at it in more detail. It will turn out that we can soon abandon the common idea that we possess only five senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting).
