Really interesting tasting notes! Also try Gymnema Sylvestre, if you haven't already. They make for a very educational experience as well, though surely not as pleasant as magic berries. Soft drinks, bread, and honey were some of my favorites with gymnema.

Carl-Christian: hmmm, I wonder what the mechanisms for this killing-off might be. That would of course make this a whole new ballgame if you could efficiently kill off the effect with an amuse-bouche in between courses.

Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely try them next time.

It will ruin any white wine as well. Really ruin.

And you can kill off the effect quite quickly with coffee. Or hard liquor...

Anyway. My favorite is by far tomatoes.

Martin: there is some talk about the use as additive, but I guess that must be a technologically ("techno-physiologically") demanding task since the effect presumably needs some time to develop (or, does it? I really don't know, to be honest). If this is the case, it must be taken some time before the designated dish arrives (incorporated in the previous dish, perhaps?). Secondly,

Erik - a comprehensive setup there with all those food stuffs! Do you see any practical use for the berries? Or does it all boil down to the "wow" effect?

BTW - where did you get your tablets from?

Probably, but I guess it hasn't been tested properly either. I'm not up to date on these matters, however. Another challenge is the uncontrollability of the effect. It takes some time for it to start working, and the effect lasts from 1/2-1 hour or so. The result is that you cannot apply this to only one dish, because it will impact the taste perception for all dishes within a certain

Wow, this is very interesting. Science like this definitely needs more publicity. I've been a health advocate for some time now, and I only just found out about miraculin. I'm sure if word got out, there would be a lot more people lobbying to make miraculin FDA-approved.
