Taste buds probably play the most important part in helping you enjoy the many flavors of food. Your taste buds can recognize four basic kinds of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of your tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of your tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of your tongue.
Everyone's tastes are different. In fact, your tastes will change as you get older. When you were a baby, you had taste buds, not only on your tongue, but on the sides and roof of your mouth. This means you were very sensitive to different foods. As you grew, the taste buds began to disappear from the sides and roof of your mouth, leaving taste buds mostly on your tongue. As you get older, your taste buds will become even less sensitive, so you will be more likely to eat foods that you thought were too strong as a child.
What if you could not taste anything? Things like medications, smoking, not getting enough of the right vitamins, injury to the head, brain tumors, chemical exposure, and the effects of radiation can cause taste disorders. We have almost 10,000 taste buds inside our mouths; even on the roofs of our mouths. Insects have the most highly developed sense of taste. They have taste organs on their feet, antennae, and mouthparts .Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as their mouth.Taste is the weakest of the five senses.
Many popular television shows and American health journals have stated that, on average, girls have more tastebuds than boys. However, in the largest taste experiment to date in Denmark in 2008, involving 8900 volunteers from primary to secondary school, it was found that although the number of taste buds influenced taste preferences, there was no anatomical difference (University of Copenhagen (2008, December 18). Girls Have Superior Sense Of Taste To Boys. ScienceDaily. Retrieved February 2, 2011, from http://www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2008/12/081216104035.htm). Rather, it was conjectured that it was the way boys and girls process taste sensation that made girls better tasters, not the density or number of taste buds.

Why can you taste sour on sour but not sour on salty?
Well, the whole thing is very complicated. The asorbic acid in sour, compliments the falic acid in other sour foods. It may seem more sour to you if you taste sour on sour, but it is just your taste buds reacting to two different chemicals. Both chemicals combined make it very easy to be tasted, and sometimes disliked. When you taste sour on salty it's harder to taste. One ingredient in salt, called cottonseed extract, mainly counteracts most asorbic and falic acids. So, in most salty foods it's harder to taste sour things.
