My dad is one who can't taste the difference between butter and margerine. For me, even if you couldn't taste the difference, the dead giveaway is the way it feels when it melts in your mouth.

We use butter, but I always buy unsalted butter because it tastes fresher than salted butter, but the kids would prefer it if we got salted butter because it tastes salty.

Calvin Trillin, one of my favorite food writers, recently wrote that his own father, who never drank coffee, insisted that if one were blindfolded, one could not tell the difference between coffee with milk and coffee without!

Which is absurd, but Trillin's most recent essay in the New Yorker is about people who can't tell the difference between red wine and white wine when it is served at room temperature in a black glass. He couldn't.

I think I could but I need to find some black glasses. This may be a fun thing to do during the Thanksgiving get together.
