Instead of paying $40.00 to go flavor tripping, I wonder if someone has access to the berries, so I can do it myself with friends at home. Here’s the ad:
Flavor Tripping is an ongoing series of Bacchanalian food tasting smackdowns that occur around the country and have finally made their way back to NYC. The series of tastings center on miracle fruit a cranberry-sized West African berry that that numbs your sour and bitter taste buds for a couple of hours after eating it.
Indigenous to West Africa, Miracle Fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum if you want to get all scientific about it), when ingested, reacts with certain tastebuds, temporarily numbing some while over stimulating others. That means that everything that used to taste sour now tastes sweet. Fo’ reals. It’s like a candy Willy Wonka would have invented - after eating one stout beers taste like chocolate milkshakes, grapefruits taste like pixie sticks, cheeses taste like frosting, it will make even the crappiest tequila taste like lemonade (and strangely enough, it will make all wine taste like Manischewitz). Join other creative guests for a night of bizarre flavor treats. Price includes entry, miracle fruit, food, all the tequila your ass can handle and evening-long entertainment.
it’s either an experiment, or a taste trip. margarita, like lemonade, has lots of sugar in it. with this, it’s really sweet without any suger or sweetener. you take straight lemons without any sugar and they taste sweet.
you cannot imagine what your coffee will taste like without any bitterness. not necessarily better, just a change.
