Dulled Senses?

Hi everyone I just joined and I'm finding the forum really useful, my thanks to you all.

I'm having problems taking my bland base and making a curry with a decent flavour. I've heard that after cooking your senses are dulled, to what extent is this true?

Thanks everyone!

I know that was I was reading a thread a couple of months ago where an BIR chef was quoted as saying that you never enjoy your own curry for that reason and I think this was discussed briefly. I can't find that thread though - maybe someone else remembers?

This has popped up a few times over the years, I personally never cook and a then eat a curry straight away, I have done in the past and just never enjoyed it.

That's a real tough one to call! I know that when I eat curry that I have made later after leaving it to sit, the meat is tougher and the consistency is wrong... I need to get my flatmate to knock one up and see what I think.
