That was wierd

[kerravonsen]

Prompted by this post, I decided to try out the "Mysterious Fruit" aka "Miracle Berry" and bought some freeze-dried pills. This morning I tried it. The pill itself (half a pill) tasted a bit tart, but that was okay. I then tried my Bircher Muesli (unsweetened natural yogurt being a main ingredient) and lemon tea (white tea with Real Lemon Juice). The tea tasted mildly sweet, just the way I like it. The Bircher Muesli tasted mildly sweet also. Sucking on a lemon ice cube (that's how I got my lemon juice) the taste was a mix of sweet and sour. Probably it was that my tongue wasn't completely coated. Cool, amazing and weird, though I think I didn't get as much cognitive dissonance as I might have, because I was eating/drinking things that could have had sugar added to them, even though I knew that they hadn't. If I'd been eating an actual lemon, the strangeness would have been greater.

Stay tuned for more adventures in Miracle Berry foodtasting!

Beetroot would be interesting, and perhaps a curry...

I'm glad you liked the coffee drink! I also like the cappuccino and berry crunch bars (I've yet to try a chocolate one) and the chocolate mousse isn't bad.

and perhaps a curry
I'm not sure that a curry would work, since the berry is supposed to affect sour/bitter tastes, not hot ones.
