the meat and vegs are starting to be tasteless

the pork and chicken have no flavor no more 

i eat tomatoes every day  /they have become flavorless with a thick skin 

i now understand why Thai food is overloaded with  chile and garlic trying to get some flavor 

maybe trying to grow everything to quick with antibiotics and hormones?

Corona? 

 

"COVID-19 can also have other types of symptoms. One of these is losing your sense of smell or taste."

The reason is not to get some flavour, but rather hide some

Sprinkle a bit more MSG into the frying pan.

How old are you?

Unfortunately as you get older, your senses decline. Just as your eyesight and hearing deteriorate, so too unfortunately does your sense of taste.

So may just be an age thing.

Food is only a fuel you need to keep you body strong and your energy level up. 

After 60 you should spend twice as much time making love than eating . ???? 

 

like someone said above classic symptom of covid

Get a Covid test.  Please, for those around you if not for you.

Try with Australian tenderloin or Ribeye steak, with salt and pepper with a cup of Spanish wine...If you feel tasteless, your senses are declining.

And if once has dentures too, Ha!

It is not only you and you don't have to blame yourself - aging and such.

Fruits and vegetables have been designed to 1} look good, 2) last a long time, 3) can be

transported over long distances.

That has been done quite successfully but at the cost of taste, flavor (smell). The outstanding example is strawberries;   They look great, are big, last a long time. But the taste is G O N E........

 

So don't blame yourself and don't let the others put you down; they obviously are ignorant of

the tremendous "progress"  that science has made on the behalf of growers.

he could have said "sup some spanish wine out of the bottle" he was being polite !!!!

In my experience there is an enormous difference between the quality and taste, of meats in particular, when comparing Thailand and Europe. I guess it's the way the animals are fed. You can get good quality in Thailand, for example in Tops, but you'll pay European price+, as opposed to less money for the mediocre Thai version. As with so many things in life, you have to pay for quality.

eh?, what's that you say? sorry, can you please type louder.  I'm a little hard of reading in my old age.

The shelf life of tomatoes is inversely proportional to how tasty they are...apparently!

 

If you choose a variety that lasts (supermarket ones I guess)...expect little or no real flavor.

 

Alternatively you maybe asymptotic with covid19

Most of the meat is heavily farmed with poor quality feed given to them.. hence no flavour.

Happen... just a small advice;
But learn more options to  translate the word CUP.  Try one day to enter in a good restaurant and ask to Chef or waiter for a CUP OF WINE and he will serve to you a GLASS

How can you be asymptomatic if you are showing a symptom?
