Are you able to taste the food you're eating while watching TV?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28826points) February 21st, 2019

If you like eating while watching something on TV, does your brain still has time to think about the taste of your food?

Yes, my brain is capable of processing more than one sensory input at a time.

If anything, food tastes better when it’s eaten in front of a TV :)

I like to eat while reading, texting, or watching videos at the same time, talk about multi-tasking haha. I can still taste all the flavors in my food just fine. The only difference is that it takes longer to finish my food.

Popcorn tastes better in front of a screen.

I don’t eat while watching tv but I do usually read a magazine or the newspaper. I probably don’t relish my food as much as I would if I were sitting and talking to someone.

Oh, yes. Serve me up a bite of liver while I’m watching the tube and, I assure you, I will spit it out post-haste!

^^Was that before or after you saw this question? :)

Before, I just saw this question this evening. It was a helluva sandwich. :-)

^^Would make for a nice food commercial. The food was so good the person eating began seeing kaleidoscopic visions of the said food instead of what was on TV.

Probably already done as a commercial. :)

Absolutely, but a lot of the shows I watch while eating are fairly mindless.

Sometimes what I am eating has more taste than what I am watching.
