I learned only recently about being a supertaster -- the discovery explained a lot, like for example why, even though my tastes in food are pretty catholic, I can't tolerate certain vegetables (radicchio, broccoli rabe, endive, chicory) that other people enjoy. In general, though, I gravitate toward strong flavors.
Spouse likes hard-boiled eggs and is permitted to make them for herself provided she shuts the kitchen door, opens the windows, and washes out the pot she used. She can store them in the fridge in a closed container. It's a little less cray-cray than it sounds -- I was obliged to eat h-b eggs regularly as a child despite already having a pronounced dislike for them, so over time the aversion got orders of magnitude worse.
I'm curious about your touch aversion. Do you not notice, say, the feeling of certain fabrics, or the textures of various foods? What about being touched by people -- is there anyone you do like being touched by? (For me, it's Spouse and a few of my close friends.) Is there anything at all that you enjoy touching? (And, obviously, if these questions are too intimate, ignore them!)
