I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know

There is actually quite a bit you can do to mask the taste of medicine.
I haven't even started yet, but from what they explained to me a lot of how you mask the taste comes from the raw drug flavor itself. I remember my soon-to-be boss saying that Peach Flavor was very good for drugs with a sulfide characteristic (maybe sulfite?). Also he mentioned that if something is intensely bitter, you just increase the other basic taste flavors.
Its never about make a delicious meal, its about hiding everything disgusting about the medicine and making it palatable. The goal was never to make a 5 star meal but to flavor medicine so that it tastes good enough that you won't avoid taking it.
Although when I do end up starting, I'm banning cherry flavor. I'll update everyone about the ins and outs of the whole thing when I get there.
When I was on my pediatrics rotation in med school, we tasted a variety of the antibiotics and they were all god awful and some of us almost puked. Then we tried it with the flavor enhancers and even more of us almost puked. That poo poo is hard to make taste even palatable. Maybe its because adults palettes are more refined, but I don't know how kids can stomach certain types of antibiotics. Some are tolerable though.
