Does it look bright and colorful or dull and bland? Aroma -- Does it smell good? Does the aroma make you want to dig in? Consistency -- How is the meat-to-sauce ratio? It shouldn't be runny, mushy or overly thick. Taste -- How is the flavor? Do the ingredients blend well, or is one too overpowering? Does the first bite make you want another one? Aftertaste -- Once you swallow, is there a spicy taste ("bite") that stays on your tongue? Is it pleasant?
