Many of our patients with head and neck cancer are treated with radiation that destroys or at least severely impairs the salivary glands. Additionally, many are also treated with chemotherapy which affects their taste buds. Food is often bland or worse yet, foul-tasting to these individuals, and we use the term "Dysgeusia" to describe it. I'd be interested to know if the word "disgusting" is related to it.
On a similar note, I just returned from a brief trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and can say with conviction that "Gatlinburgian" should make an excellent synonym for "tasteless."
