(I know I haven’t posted for a while. Great things are stirring!)

Relatively often, we all catch ourselves wondering:”Which is my favourite food after all? How could I possibly rate my favourite flavours and reward the ones that tantalize my taste buds the most? Respectively: “Which is the most horrible, attrocious taste ever, the tang that proves even my bravest of attempts to keep in my sudden regurgitation inadequate?” I’m sure everybody has these thoughts in mind every now and then, so, in association with Marioland, we present to you:

The Yummers Rating System!

What is it? A simple to perceive 1 to 10 rating system designed to rate flavours. The forks may be implying that only food is involved but actually any flavour is eligible to a Yummers rating, from food to drink and all the way back.
What exactly does it rate? Flavours concern texture as well as the aroma, oomph and aftertaste. It is everything relevant with food and drink that has nothing to do with satisfying needs.
Why does it exist? As I described above, it is often that we want to express how much we like or dislike something, but there is no proper gradation. With the advent of the Yummers Rating System and with using it properly it is possible for everyone to understand just how much we enjoyed that souvlaki (I’m not going to argue about what we’re going to call it.), milkshake, or that fasolakia with yoghurt.
How does it work? Each 4-pronged fork represents a single point while the 2-pronged fork represent half a point. In other words, even if the score goes up to 5, there are 10 scores.

Verbal representation of ratings:

I’d much rather eat my own feces.

If it is what it takes to survive…

Edible. Just.

Bland, but won’t cause any stomach trouble.

The flavour goes pretty much unnoticed… Failure to impress either way.

Mildly enjoyable. Unsophisticated but fulfilling.

Things are getting interesting! While not memorable in its own right, when remembering the particular flavour my senses tingle. 1st level of Yummer!

4 squared! This denotes a flavour that is indeed among my favourites. I know it, like it and savour it!

Almost, but not quite! But that does not change the fact that I could probably live on this alone. Mentioned in any discussion concerning food and drink.

5 yummer forks. My taste buds are long screaming in nearly painful orgasm. If taste was a DnD skill, 5 yummers would be rank 100. Stuff of legends. I could cherish this every day and still never ever get bored of it. In fact, the perfect definition comes in 6 words: I could swim in this stuff.

You may use this scale to share with us your favourite flavours. Don’t be afraid: use it in your everyday life as well! Let it be known, the one and only true system for measuring yummers!

POSTSCRIPT: After reading some of your comments, I’d like to add that personally I haven’t, yet, had a food or drink that is pure 5 yummers good. 5 yummers denotes something you may even eat just once in your lifetime and remember the exact flavour for the entire rest of it. It’s something truly special, not just chocolate or pizza… That’s what I believe anyway. Here are some yummers scores for me (in their best renditions I remember):

Pumpkin Soup: Chick Peas: , Brocolli: , Kinder Bars: , Shandy Rock: , Coca Cola: , Souvlaki: , Sushi: , Cauliflower: , Kiwi: , McChicken: , Singapore Sling: , Pina Colada: , Fasolakia with Yoghurt: , Lacta Chocolate: , Cherries: , Peaches: , George’s Failed Rice: , Alexandra’s Fondue: , The cod I ate today at Michalis’: , Domino’s Parmesana Pizza: , Cadbury’s Dairy Milk: , Caipirinha:
