I want a word to describe the total experience of eating something. From beginning to end. To the word I am thinking of, taste would be like the top film. Like when I drink carrot juice, at first it tastes good, and then it settles into my stomach and feels good and then as it circulates around my body I can feel it delivering nutrients and that feels good.

Eating something is an entire experience which the taste has little to do with.

Like cookies, they taste good, but their deeper experience is not so good.

You can say something has a good taste, but how would you say it has a good entire experience.



Anyway, I'm not sure a word like this exists, but I think it would be a a cool one to have around and I might make one up if I have to...
 
Yes but those are adjectives. What I am looking for would be akin to the word taste, which is a... verb/noun, but a noun in the sense that I am using it. The cereal had a good taste. The cereal also had a good ____.


Ideally this word would encompass every element of eating something, from taste to nourishment to defecation. Like I said, a whole food experience word.

Actually I think this would be one of the most important words possible. I find it interesting that we really lack something of it's kind in our vocabularies.

Essence is good.


I just thought of 'encounter'.


The carrot juice had a good encounter.


Or maybe 'correspondence'.
 
Actually that word may have never been used, and JC probably just made it on-the-go, but it has logical meaning through Latin roots.

It would vaguely mean "something that has the quality of violently belonging to five [things]" ;).
