Have you heard the latest? There's this West African berry - Miracle Fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum) that numbs your sour and bitter taste buds so it makes everything you eat afterwards taste totally sweet!
And what's even more crazy is that these guys from NY have started importing it and having "Flavor Tripping" parties! They supply the berry and the buffet, and you go to town freaking out about how the grapefuit tastes like pixi stix and the cheese tastes like frosting. They did a write up on it in the NY Times. Sounds like a bunch of people x-ing if you ask me, but hey, this is like food x. Can't be all bad!
They're having one of these parties on monday, but it's sold out already. But check out the site and sign up for the mailing list so you can know in time for the next one. These guys also seem to sell the berries so you could have your own flavor trip party too! But buyer beware, the fruit is highly perishable and very expensive - like $2 a berry.
Peace Out!
