Just a quick little note/link today...still failing to find the balance between things I want to post on versus my post-work desire to vegetate or run errands. Vegetation is winning.
In one of my food blogs today, there was a link to a New York Times article about a berry called Miracle Fruit. Apparently eating the pulp of this cranberry-looking berry changes sour tastes to sweet tastes for about an hour. Thus, sugary things taste even more sugary and sour things taste like sugar. Like the setting of the article, I too think this would make for an awesome gathering of people, especially if it were people who were not that familiar with one another. Everyone experiencing something new tends to bond. And who doesn't want to pour Tabasco down your throat and feel what hot icing is like? Even though the berries are about $2 each, for an hour of altered food tasting is worth it, I think. It is like a drug trip for your taste buds!
