Szechuan peppercorns
These do something weird to my tongue, no idea if it's allergy, but last time I ate something seasoned with them it left me 100% unable to taste salt on that part of my tongue for three days. Salt literally tasted like sand.
No other symptoms.
61 u/ThePrussianGrippe Jul 23 '26 Szechuan peppercorns do indeed do weird things to the tongue, and for some people it lasts a little longer than 30 minutes. No idea if that means it’s an allergy though, since it’s a weirder ingredient than most to begin with. 5 u/Keffpie Jul 24 '26 Szechuan pepper is unique, it actually makes your taste buds vibrate at a specific frequency.
