Acho que nenhum desses.

O http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/permalink/the_tongue_map/ classifica
essa divisão de sabores na língua como um mito.


O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_buds diz:

Contrary  to  popular understanding, taste is not experienced on different parts
of  the  tongue. The "tongue map myth" was based on a mistranslation of a German
paper that was written in 1901 by a Harvard psychologist. Though there are small
differences   in   sensation,   which  can  be  measured  with  highly  specific
instruments, all taste buds can respond to all types of taste.

The Tongue Map Myth

When  a  clinician  suspects taste problems in a client, the clinician may first
think  about  conducting  a  taste  test  using the "tongue map." This procedure
involves  swabbing  a person’s tongue with various taste qualities (sweet, sour,
etc.) and asking the person to name the taste. We are supposed to perceive sweet
taste  at  the tip of our tongue, for example, and bitter at the back, and other
tastes should have their place as well.

If  you  have performed this test, you may be surprised to learn that the tongue
map  is  wrong.  It is a mistranslation of an early-1900s German thesis that was
disproved  in  1974.  Unfortunately,  it  continues to be published in textbooks
today.

For  the  record,  we perceive all taste qualities all over our tongue, although
there  may  be  increased  sensitivity to certain qualities in certain areas. In
addition, it is important to remember that our taste system provides information
on  the intensity and pleasantness (or unpleasantness) of taste as well. What we
like  and  dislike  in  food  can  change  over time, a fact to which parents of
preschoolers and teenagers can attest.
