The multisensory experience of eating: Savoring the taste, texture, sight, sound, and even touch of food enhances the overall enjoyment of eating beyond just satisfying hunger
Our sensory experiences with food go beyond just taste and nutrition. For some people, the sensation of pain from a spicy food or the sound of crunchy food can bring immense pleasure. It's not just about satisfying hunger, but also about seeking out new sensations. Some people may have negative associations with certain foods or senses, like the sight of food making them sick or the sound of fizzy water being sinister. But overall, the multisensory experience of eating is a crucial aspect of enjoying food and should not be overlooked. Whether it's the feeling of rubbing food on yourself, the sight of a beautifully presented dish, or the sound of crunchy food, each sense contributes to the overall experience. So next time you sit down to eat, take a moment to savor not just the taste, but also the other sensations that come with it.

Ultimately, the importance of design versus functionality depends on individual priorities and experiences.
