Straight up trippin'

Posted By on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 1:14 PM

Ever heard of the "miracle fruit" that tricks your taste buds?

The crazy miracle fruit is a berry that changes the flavor of food. Cheap tequila can supposedly taste like Patron and Tabasco sauce can taste like doughnut glaze. Just suck on the berry and wait for the magic to happen.

From the New York Times:

The berry rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy.

(Read the entire article here.)

Try it for yourself at Crepe Cellar's Flavor Tripping Party on Sunday, September 27, from 7 - 11 pm. They will have a special spread of food and drink pairings for you to try. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
