De Gustibus, or Hacking your Tastebuds

Do you geek out over food? Do you rave over a particular vintage? Do you get into fights about relative merits of belgain vs. swiss chocolatiers? Know the difference between a Gourmet and a Gourmand? Ever done a real chocolate tasting? Wondered what's the big deal with food/wine parings? Ever tried Miracle Fruit? Like any other electrical/chemical machine the body can be hacked and that includes the tastebuds. Let's discuss taste, and then let's taste stuff! For a small fee ( < $2.00) you can choose to take part in a food/wine paring, A blind chocolate tasting (rating forms, will be provided, see how you compare to the experts) or experiment with Miracle Fruit (along with many things to try it out on), Real Vintage Balsamic Vinegar (like syrup) - Also feel free to bring something you've discovered and want others to try.
