Hey, you never know - KI3T will probably have to analyze food at some point in time. I think it could actually be kind of funny if KI3T's sense of "taste" only serves to detect the molecular structure and ingredients of the food; they could use it for more character interaction between Mike and KI3T. (this is a bit long, sorry. But yeah....imagine Val Kilmer's voice with this dialogue; hope it works for you.) Something like:
KI3T: Mike, my scanners detect that your body is producing less than the optimal amount of adenosine triphosphate. Your body will require calorie intake before we undertake this mission.
Mike: ...adenosine triwhatnow? Kitt, what are you saying?
KI3T: Mike, you require food. You need to eat.
Mike: Yeah, that made more sense. Y'know, a double cheeseburger sounds pretty great right about now.
KI3T: "Cheeseburger." A portmanteau of the words "cheese" and "hamburger." According to the information in my database, although a "cheeseburger" contains many calories, it is high in saturated fat and its nutritional content is less than most meals of a similar quantity. I would suggest a different meal--
Mike: *interrupts* Kitt, if you'd ever had a double cheeseburger with onions, pickles, and ketchup, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.
KI3T: Mike, I do not understand why you are currently craving a cheeseburger - considering your nutritional options, I cannot understand why you would choose something lacking vital vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Mike: Kitt, look, it's not about how good it is for you - people eat what they like, y'know, whatever tastes good. I had my first cheeseburger when I was six, when my mom stopped at a fast food restaurant on the way home. We never really ate out, so I savored that burger - it was the best burger I've ever had.
KI3T: It seems as though you attach an emotional response to the consumption of cheeseburgers, Michael.
Mike: Yeah, well, I'm not the only one, Kitt. *hesitates, leans in to KI3T's orb* Sarah used to eat five king-size chocolate bars every day when we were younger - she didn't always look like she did now - but that stays between us, right?
KI3T: I've got your back, Michael.
Eh, okay, that went a bit off of the taste topic, but still, I dunno. I think as long as they remember that KI3T's core character is a human who doesn't quite understand human traits and idiosyncracies, the conversations will write themselves. Stuff like this would be great for interaction between Mike and KI3T - I'm sure someone could write something better than what I've written here - but the formula is there. Maybe substitute Philly Cheesesteaks for cheeseburgers....personal preference.
