Bold or Mellow?
The flavor letter is compared on its own. Here is how each combination orders.
Both Bold
You'd agree on the spice level. Order the hottest thing on the menu and split it.
Both Mellow
You'd agree on the spice level. Clean, comforting plates for both of you.
One Bold, one Mellow
One of you orders it mild, one extra hot. Get the chili oil on the side.

Taste type vs match score
Your taste type is how you eat, just for fun. Your palate is what you love, and in the app that is what your match scores use.
Your match score (0–100) is how well a dish or place fits your palate — not the crowd's average. See how taste matching works.
