Is there a systematic way to distinguish tastes (i.e., like the aroma wheel for wine but for food in general)?

Asked by lifeflame (5912points) August 1st, 2011

Say you’re a food critic, or you’re teaching someone how to distinguish and discuss the taste of food. Is there a system of adjectives that you could use to distinguish the taste, texture, smell, etc. for food? I know that there is an “aroma wheel” for wine, and ones also for beer, coffee and maple syrup, but has anyone developed something for food in general?

Any jellies been trained to do this?
