post-mortem concerns

I still don't understand why there are gazillions of reports about what heaven looks-- and sometimes sounds-- like, but a dearth of reports about what heaven smells or tastes or feels like. It's the ultimate foodie's nightmare: arriving in the afterlife bereft of one's olfactory and gustatory senses. Will the audiovisual stimuli be enough to keep a disembodied soul happy for eternity? Why can't heaven also be a big, juicy burger made from the flesh of an eternally regenerating cosmic cow?

(Not that any of this matters if we don't have souls, and/or if there is no afterlife.)
