The taste of chocolate is a 'finer-grained' sensation than the taste of sweetness [Polger]
     Full Idea: The taste of chocolate is presumably a 'finer-grained' sensation than the taste of sweetness.
     From: Thomas W. Polger (Natural Minds [2004], Ch.1.4)
     A reaction: An interesting distinction when it comes to what they are like, and whether two very different brains can realise them. Sweetness might be the same for most creatures, but the tast of chocolate subtly different.
