Miracle fruit awesomeness
Just tried Miracle fruit tabs from ThinkGeek. Holy cow are they amazing. Fantastic. Need to do them again, with people. Need people to come over, with a variety of things to try. LFG 4 flavor party, PST.
I've got plenty of ideas for the next tasting, and for a future flavor tasting party. Well worth trying, if you ever get a chance.
| Food | Taste |
|---|---|
| Lime | The most amazingly sweet and flavorful limeade you could ever imagine. Yeah, I love limes. My favorite fruit after mangoes. But holy cow, it was like a sweet lime explosion in my mouth. |
| Lemon | Similar to limes. Amazing sweet awesome lemonade. Next time I'll have to mix the two and produce an all-natural Sprite. |
| Soda bread | Tasted like... plain old soda bread. Oh well. I mostly purchased it to soak up all the acid I knew I was going to be eating, to avoid the upset stomach that many had reported from ODing on citrus while under miraculin's effects. |
| Gherkins | Nothing different. Oh well. |
| Guinness | Imagine a root beer float, made of awesome. I still maintain that Guinness floats taste awesome (I know that's an insulting sacrilege to some people), but this tasted like that - despite the lack of ice cream. Wow. |
| Irish whiskey | Pretty flavorful, took a little of the earthiness off from it, leaving some of the more subtle flavorings. |
| Ciclón | I'm normally a sucker for Ciclón, but it tasted even sweeter and smooth. The lime and agave were really heavily accented. Next time I need to try pure rum and pure tequila to see how they're accented by the miraculin. |
| Orange | Woah. Sweet orange juice. Orange juice with sugar. Sliced that puppy up and devoured it in seconds. Not as amazingly different as lime and lemon, being a naturally sweet fruit already, but still an even more intense flavor than usual. |
| Grapefruit | This was the main event. People had told me that grapefruit would be the most amazing ambrosia with miraculin, and they weren't kidding. Fantastic. Blissful. All I could ever want from a fruit, and then some. I was expecting grapefruit with sugar, but it was so much more than that. A sweet rich fruity explosion of tangy nirvana. Woah. |
I've got plenty of ideas for the next tasting, and for a future flavor tasting party. Well worth trying, if you ever get a chance.

I kind of want to try normal foods instead of single ingredients, too. Like a good Italian sub (fatty meats, oil and vinegar, cheese, whatever), a burrito with sour cream and guacamole, etc.

I didn't try a lot of vinegary things. I've got a few fine balsamic vinegars around here, I should have remembered and sipped one.
Sour patch kids! Yes!

Nope...at a tasting someone put drain cleaner in some girl's drink...since her taste buds were whacked out, she didn't notice anything wrong until she started foaming at the mouth and vomiting blood. Lovely. I believe it was done in revenge over some silly fashion design thing.
