Taste buds have receptors for certain things found in food. Some taste buds respond to the pH of a food telling you if the food is acidic (sour) or basic (bitter). There are also taste buds that respond to sugar, salt and unami (asparagus). Each person is different in whether they like certain combinations of the 5 basic tastes.
