Finally got around at having a crack at making the famous Peruvian Ceviche with leche de tigre.

That looks just great! As for following my recipe, I imagine everyone makes their ceviche differently, so no problem whatsoever!
I´ve got a chef buddy in Caracas who actually spent 6 months in Lima, learning about ceviches - he reckons there are hundreds of variations, and he actually prepares 6 different ones.
Buen provecho!

That was the worst part of having covid for me, losing my taste. It was several weeks before I regained it.
 
My grandmother's potato, leek, and beef curry dish.

Go for really hot curry or chilli!

It can be a long term issue losing sense of taste with Covid. I really hope its not for you.

Yeah, that's how I had to wake up my tastebuds when I had covid. I had to make food that was extra flavorful or I had no interest in eating, so it was either spicy or just laden with herbs and seasonings so I could taste it. And it was still about a month or more before my taste and smell came back. I guess the only good thing was that I lost about 5 pounds during that timeframe.
 
A plum/apple cake. No added sugar option, dairy free, egg free, my variation of a wyseguide recipe.
Love the upturn moment and it is really delicious, the acidity of the plums and the smooth silky inner of the plums is perfect for this cake. I had some apples sitting in the fridge for several weeks so I added those, and some dates on the flip side, the caramely baked date was astonishingly good.

That was last week , today I made an upgraded or improved version, I wanted the texture to be lighter and softer, I used two bananas and 1 egg, I omitted the dates, as bananas were sweet enough, and it came out even better, really loved it, and had it plain as is, and then after the wall painting with Mango vegan ice cream, with low sugar.

The Scotch broth that I poured from a tin yesterday was completely tasteless even after dumping a spoonfull of ground black pepper in it. Well, I could just taste the pepper.

Yeah, eating just to live sucks. I am not a big person (maybe pleasantly plump), but if I lose weight I want it to be for the right reasons, not because I couldn't taste my food and ate less as a result. I hope your sense of taste returns soon.

I deep fried some chicken wings, and tossed them in a somewhat homemade Buffalo sauce -- hot sauce and butter. Bottled Buffalo sauce has a ridiculous amount of sodium.

Have you considered making your own???
I make my own and control the salt levels.
