I suppose so, but I'm not a food scientist (or any sort of scientist) so
breaking down into compounds means nothing to me. I just know what I
like and dislike and don't care much about the reasons why. It boils
down to does it taste good? I do try different foods and seasonings
from time to time. But I see no reason to keep trying something I've
disliked for decades.
