Flavor Tripping at EFN Lounge, pics by me.

I went Flavor Tripping at EFN Lounge last weekend.  The berry didn’t work very well so he gave us tablets (freeze dried berries) to dissolve on our tongues, and they worked fine.  He is going to use a better berry supplier next month.

So, your tongue gets rewired for an hour or so to read sour as sweet.

There was a buffet which contained various fruits (lemons, limes, kiwis, strawberries, oranges, etc.  They also had pickles (tasted the same), and various sour candies.  You could also take shots of hot sauce (yum), white vinegar (yum), and soy sauce (yuck).  The fruit generally tasted like a candy (strawberry = starburst) version or like a stronger, sweeter but less acidic version of itself (limes, grapefruit).   They could have had someone circulating selling appropriate shots.

It was a fun trippy experience with a  good crowd.  You can try it at EFN 2nd Friday next (or any) month.  Or, buy some of the tablets on Amazon, and host a flavor tripping party for your friends.

We got tacos afterwards at Taqueria Distrito Federal with our altered taste buds. heh.
