I don't know if I'm a supertaster. I've always had a very sensitive palate, although that is declining as I age. I used to be able to recognize minor ingredients in all sorts of recipes by taste (for instance, I noticed the slight rancidity of canola in Pepperidge Farm cookies when they briefly used that in the wake of the "tropical oils" scare) and couldn't eat even small quantities of pungent foods like mustard as a child. Oddly enough, I like some bitter tastes, and have always been fond of some slightly bitter foods like brussel sprouts. Aronia isn't terrible, it's just mildly unpleasant, and I'm surprised that it's become a hot food item. My guess is that it is a fad, and people will lose interest when some other "magic food" is discovered. Pomegranate and blueberry have lots of healthy antioxidants (and even some rodent studies backing their claims of healthfulness) and they both taste very good to most people.
