View Comments | Post CommentBoingBoing Links EatFoo's Miracle Fruit Posts!
Jacob apparently submitted the miracle fruit posts to BoingBoing (the most widely read blog on the internet), and they gave us the linky. That means ++Popularity, and --Server. I then got about sixty emails asking for the contact info of the miracle fruit guy, until I finally posted it. Interestingly, one of the emailers also said:
If you're interested in another plant which dramatically affects sweetness, try the herb Gymnema sylvestre (commonly known as gurmar, or "sugar destroyer"). Placing an extract of the herb on your tongue will almost completely eliminate one's ability to detect sweetness. However, I wouldn't recommend a tasting party based on it... eating a banana after taking gymnena is particuarly gross experience, for example)

Is there anything that makes everything taste like steak, because if so, that would do wonders for my cholesterol.

Sorry, Mike. Nothing of which I'm aware.

Ok, this has nothing at all to do with your post, I just thought you would get a kick out of what your law school has been kind enough to inflict upon us all: http://t14talent.googlepages.com/
It should be interesting who gets dragged into this as various schools become progressively more aware.
Oh, and if you come down for softball this year, you had better get a drink with me. That is all:)
