Society: A job where good taste is essential

Zhou Xu, who majored in journalism and communication, has good taste, especially when it comes to food, which is why she works as a food taster in Beijing. "I love food and, as a food taster, I can try delicacies from around the world way ahead of others," Zhou said. However, tasting food is not an easy job, as it requires close examination and evaluation of the texture, color and smell of the food. She also has to make proposals about the target population and possible side dishes to go with the food.
