In the philosophy of taste, in literature and in the cinema, taste is associated with practices of self and justice. The words “you are what you eat” and “revenge is a hot dish ...” are in themselves able to bring evidence to this fact. The two cases cited, in turn, illustrate the double meaning revenge-avenge when you take avenge as not yet becomes, and revenge as evil that has been done is repaid. In this article, opportunizing these coincidences, it is proposed to analyze the effects that taste as a category of food anthropology promotes in the epistemological limits of knowledge. The association of knowledge with the flavor moves the dominance of the aseptic logic of vision. The inevitable mention of the body led by this way of knowing offers the questions of self-practice and justice possibilities previously ruled out by metaphysical views on subjectivity and law.
