Don't blame the chef: Whether you love it or hate it may depend entirely on what variant of gene you were born with

Next time a chef (or your partner) serves you up a bad piece of pork, don't be so quick to judge.
For genetics appears to play a big role in how you perceive the taste of meat - specifically pig meat.
And those of us with a gene called OR7D4 perceive a distinct scent - and describe it as resembling urine, onions or faeces.

They were curious to test 'odorant receptors', found in our noses and mouth.
