Summary/Abstract: We most often consider taste as a gateway to aesthetic experiences, which marks a difference between it and other senses, which are primarily considered in terms of the access they provide to the world. Here, I examine the epistemic dimensions of taste and their significance to epistemology more broadly. How have our epistemic paradigms relegated taste to a lesser role, and how might taking food itself more seriously change that?
