I wear a noseclip when swimming so I am used to the feeling and even gargle while wearing the noseclip to wash away any after taste of the oil, but I try not to think too much about what I am doing - otherwise I might panic a bit  :-\

Another one is that it is residual memory - I've had this a couple of times when my noseclip is fitting fine (i.e. even if I close my mouth I cannot blow my nose without effort :)) but I still think I can taste something - which is impossible. I guess as our tongue is still working that you still get a big amount of the sensation, I don't really know.

Thanks numpty.  I have loosened the clip a bit, which has helped.  I definitely notice a difference with the clip on vs. off, so I'm hoping I'll still get AS from noseclipping, even if I do taste some sweet things and toothpaste with the clip on.

I'm also trying to have a smaller amount of food to deal with the breathing issue.  The less I have to eat, the less amount of time it takes me to eat while still being ok with my breathing. 

Seth Roberts:
The word "taste" ("I could taste the blueberries") might be misleading you. It is smell that matters. The noseclips should get rid of the smell. I cannot see how you could smell something while wearing noseclips.

I think supertasters have very sensitive tongues (taste) not very sensitive noses (smell). Although I might be wrong about that.

I think I am a super taster but I have really good luck with Noseclipping, it helps a lot. I can tell by my tongue that I just had milk or coffee even though I cant smell them persay.
