aspects of Disney culture is sanitized, the experience of seeing art work and “tasting” food from other cultures was interesting. (As a side note, I did find some of the African food to be spicy, I would hate to see how truly spicy African dish would taste.) My favorite restaurant on the Disney property was “Boma,” this was an African inspired restaurant located at Disney’s Animal Kingdoms Lodge. I am not a big meat eater but I found the Ghanian Oxtail Stew to be delicious, which I was not going…

would have tasted great if they weren’t a little burnt. I enjoyed eating a bunch of them, but eventually I couldn’t eat any more because of the bitter taste. The burger had one of the best prepared beef I have ever tasted; the bun itself was really tasty too, but the problem was everything else was definitely lacking some seasoning. I could only taste the bun and the beef, which made the meal bland. The second dish was Chicken Chipotle Pasta; it was really delicious to the point where we both…

Test Two results were collected from 20 panelists, and five taste categories (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, other) were ranked. Single solutions vary by concentrations, and certain taste intensity scores increase significantly as the solute concentration increases. Binary solutions involve taste-taste interactions, and can cause enhancement and suppression of tastes (Keast and Breslin, 2003). In Figure 2., sweet and sour taste intensities of 2% sucrose single solution, 0.05% citric acid single…

Mexican food does not taste good unless it is made at a Mexican home because of all the detailed work they put into preparing the meal and the love that comes with it. The food always tastes different when it is made from scratch instead of going to get them made at restaurants which are more of a commercial production. I eat tortillas at every meal and there are tortilla shops at every corner, especially here in San Diego, California. These shops have big machines that make tortillas all the…

I found myself standing at the entrance of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, taking in the captivating scenery as it presents itself before me. Bright lights beam all around the vicinity, as they bounce off of every window and piece of glass. Crowds of excited people flood the scene, curious to see what was in store for the night. Remarkable smells of the freshly made cuisine, drifts along the walkways. Strong rich smells of vinegar fill my nose, as the wave of Thrashers Fries finally hits me.…

warm pizza and lasagna and just let the invisible taste sink in our tastebuds. When we are really hungry we want to go to a place that satisfies and fills up our craving. As we have preference in food we also have preference in the places we obtain it. We always tend to struggle on deciding where to buy our meals. The only way we know how to pick a place to eat is to compare what it offers, depending on the cost, service, and of course the overall taste and satisfaction of the meal. I like many…

Imagine you are driving down the street and you can smell the bread sticks and the smell of the spices and the soup filling the air. You entreat your parents to take you there. There are many good things about Olive Garden. Every time you go there your mouth will water for the food. In my opinion, the best place to eat is the Olive Garden because of the food, atmosphere, and popularity. I’m going to start about talking about the great food there. The soup and the unlimited breadsticks are a…

In a recent study, scientists from Rockefeller University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) were able to show that humans can discriminate more than 1 trillion olfactory stimuli thus, clarifying earlier misconceptions which claimed that humans could only approximately discriminate 10, 000 . To conduct this experiment, researchers used 128 odorous molecules to create scented mixtures that contained 10, 20 or 30 different components and then they asked 26 participants, out of whom 17…
