NEW YORK (AP) Whether it s kimchi, beets or broccoli, the pandemic has had a strange impact on food cravings that goes beyond the joy of comfort eating.
Nearly a year into isolation, many people are embracing foods long forgotten or rejected for taste, texture or smell. Some have forced themselves to re-evaluate health-focused foods to help boost their immune systems. And with home cooking at a high, there s a new adventurousness in the kitchen.
For Maeri Ferguson, 31, in Brooklyn, it s all about pears.
After recovering from COVID-19, she spent months without normal taste and smell. So many foods she loved just didn t satisfy. Now, Ferguson can again sense sweetness, saltiness and spiciness, but most foods lack nuance in flavor.
