Flavor

This article is about flavour, the sensory impression. There is another article on Flavour (particle physics) for the particle property.

Flavour (or flavor) is the sensory impression of a food or other substance. It is determined by the three chemical senses of taste, olfaction (smell), and the so-called trigeminal senses, which detect chemical irritants in the mouth and throat.
