| Friday 08 May 2009: Miracle fruit |
| After eating the berries of the Miracle Fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) sour food (like a lemon) will taste sweet. The plant was discovered in the 18th Century in West Africa and is nowadays an essential ingredient of "flavour tripping parties" (see e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/dining/28flavor.html). |
