Synsepalum dulcificum: I have got to try these tripping berries out.
Rumour has it that just one can tangle your tastebuds in such a trippy way as to make tabasco sauce taste like donut glaze and lemons like a sweet sugary treat.
"The berry rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy." - iht
Of course science has to step in and keep us from believing that there is a small subtle saint wrapping his wings of love around our tongue to invert the flavours. According to wikipedia, "when the fleshy part of the fruit is eaten, the molecules bind to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet."
Anyone up for a bit of a twist on the flavor flav? Want to throw a party? Any idea how to get these?
(thanks truemors)
