A sharp knife can make food taste saltier

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Sensory transference occurs when the physical properties of a utensil corrupt the data profile of the food it carries. Consuming a food item from the tip of a metallic knife will cause your system to rate the food as physically saltier and significantly more intense than if that exact same item were eaten with a smooth plastic spoon. Your tongue tastes the danger of the cutlery.
