From http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/07/22/1058853077286.html
A question for any medicos out there. Would you inherit the donors taste or would you still have your own???
Be a real bummer if you loved crayfish, but the donor despised seafood. Any ideas on this?

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

| My guess is you would inherit the donors taste only if your brain was in your tounge. |

| Since "super tasters" (people with strong reactions to tastes) can often be detected by the layout of taste buds on their tongues, it has to be at least a bit of both. After all, no matter how much you like sweet stuff, if you get a tongue with no sweet-sensing taste buds, you'll be disappointed by your food afterwards. |

Were I to get a transplanted tongue, it might be in for a big, fat suprise. I likes lots o' chilis in my chili. 
An egg without Tabasco is just another dead chicken.
