Yinrih don’t have a very good sense of taste. To the human palate, yinrih cuisine is either flavorless or inedibly spicy or minty.

Their gastronomy focuses more on mouth feel than flavor. Texture plays a big role, and contrasting textures, such as dry and wet, firm and creamy, crunchy and unctuous are often seen as desirable.

There exists a candy that has a thin pliable outer membrane encasing several inner chambers filled with filling ranging from gummy to gelatinous to creamy liquid. The membranes are clear, and the contents are brightly colored, though as often as not outside the human visible spectrum). These fillings have varying heat capacities, and the snacks are often stored in a fridge for a few minutes to give the fillings contrasting temperatures.

The correct way to eat them is to bite into the outer membrane and lets the various fillings wash over the tongue. If you’re a weirdo, you puncture the membrane with a claw and squeeze the innards into your mouth.

To a yinrih these candies are flavorless. To a human they taste like soap.
