How much of food and our enjoyment of it is the actual food or the thoughts we associate with it?
- Tests show that color of plates and cups influences how tasty we think the food is. Try it out yourself at home. The European researchers found that a chocolate drink in an orange cup tasted better than one from a white mug. Do you get the same result?
- Have you ever noticed that if you haven't eaten a food for a while and then come back to it, it tastes really good. I notice it especially when a new fruit or vegetable comes back into season. Is it the anticipation that changes the flavor?
- Doesn't food taste better when you are hungry.
- Does it taste better if you have plenty of time to savior it?
- Have you noticed you fill fuller if you eat the same amount of food on a smaller plate?
