Answer 1

What do you define as the taste of food?

I would define it as the experience when we eat food. So it is the interpretation of the signal the brain get from the tongue and olfactory system. Your brain is not telling you anything you are your brain there is not separate us.

So food is made up of stuff that we have an interpretation of that we call taste. It is how the molecules in the food interact with out sensory cells.
