Prepping for flavor tripping party

[mattbell]

First flavor tripping experiments:

(I've already tried lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, gin, pickles, olives, vanilla vodka, gin)

Here's how things have been transformed
- Tomatoes (I *hate* tomatoes) -- tasted like candy for 5 seconds, then the familiar disgusting flavor hit.
- Broccoli -- much milder and sweeter
- Plain yogurt -- tasted like vanilla yogurt with extra sugar
- Ginger -- still spicy but milder and "warmer"
- Tamarind sauce -- way too cloyingly sweet -- very sour things end up very sweet.
- Cucumber -- milder and slightly sweeter
- Capers -- interesting sweet morsels
- Rice vinegar -- sweet but icky and gross. 
- Tangerine juice -- cloyingly sweet
- Mandarin vodka -- very tasty and only mildly alcoholic
- Cutty sark whiskey -- mild and smooth
- Jose Cuervo tequila -- mild and smooth
- Dry sake -- sweet sake

Any interest in sour/bitter chemicals? I have some ascorbic acid, some potassium chloride and a few other random, legal, nontoxic things lying around. (Well, ok, don't inject any KCl into anyone's heart. Nontoxic when eaten.)

Certainly. I'm also interested in getting my hands on some neotame ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neotame ) to taste how ridiculously sweet any sizable quantity of it is, regardless of flavor tripping.

Beer!

We should eat some insects. Ants, beetles, grubs.

I would eat a grub, but not an ant or beetle.

Wow... you mean there is a way to make Cuervo tolerable? interesting ;)

WHy don't you try chicken liver? :D

Regular or Rosco's chicken fried? :-)

Whatever your pleasure :)... but I can't guarantee their freshness if you opt Roscoe's ;)

But... you're taking all the mystery out of it for the rest of us!

The sensation is interesting and surprising enough that it's still fun to try, even with spoilers. :-)

I suppose I could put further gustatory spoilers behind an lj-cut. :-)
