INFO
Flavor Tripping is an ongoing series of Bacchanalian food tasting
smackdowns that occur around the country and have finally made their
way back to NYC. The series of tastings center on miracle fruit a
cranberry-sized West African berry that that numbs your sour and bitter
taste buds for a couple of hours after eating it.
Indigenous to West Africa, Miracle Fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum if
you want to get all scientific about it), when ingested, reacts with
certain tastebuds, temporarily numbing some while over stimulating
others. That means that everything that used to taste sour now tastes
sweet. Fo reals. Its like a candy Willy Wonka would have invented -
after eating one stout beers taste like chocolate milkshakes,
grapefruits taste like pixie sticks, cheeses taste like frosting, it
will make even the crappiest tequila taste like lemonade (and strangely
enough, it will make all wine taste like Manischewitz). Join other
creative guests for a night of bizarre flavor treats. Price includes
entry, miracle fruit, food, all the tequila your ass can handle and
evening-long entertainment.
