Why is texture so important in our enjoyment of a food?

I just had pad thai. Why is it that it wouldn’t taste as good if I put it in a blender and then ate it? It would contain all the same flavors and nutritional components. What is it that makes texture so important and therefore, makes food like hamburgers or pad Thai taste undesirable when blended up?

Since in general most vegetables and fruits change their texture when they go bad bad, our brains automatically think that the different texture could be the food having gone bad. It makes us not like it so we don’t get potentially poisoned by it
