"ZEST"

February 16th, 2014

For our first ever Sunday Brunch, we were inspired by the abundance of citrus growing in our back yard.  We did a multi-course brunch featuring citrus in every course.  We ended the brunch with some flavor tripping by way of the miracle berry.

MIRACLE BERRY

A fruit from Central and South America that alters the taste buds and changes all sour receptors to sweet ones on the tongue.  Everything sour tastes sweet.  It was fun to see people try not only sour fruit but also vinegar, lemon juice, their Champagne etc... and discuss the incredible after effects of FLAVOR TRIPPING.  This is a great way to turn lemons into lemonade
