salami and goat cheese sandwich on walnut whole wheat bread
a.k.a. miracle berry tasting day

walnut whole wheat bread
miracle berries
1 lime
1 lemon
1 orange
1 grapefruit
1 piece of goat cheese
1 wedge of soft goat cheese
1 dark beer, capuccino stout
3/4 salami, sliced
1 bowl of spinach
balsamic vinegar
chipotle chili pepper sauce

This was a combination of a make-your-own sandwich and a miracle berry tasting day!

I sliced the bread and laid it out with the cheese, salami, and spinach, for everyone to make their own salad.

On every plate, there were also two miracle berries! Erk and I started off with the miracle berries. For those who don't know, miracle berries are little red fruits that make sour foods taste extremely sweet.

You can see the extent of the effect when people are happily glomping down lime and lemon wedges.

The lemons tasted like lemonade, and the dark beer tasted like mocha.

Other items on the table:
Grapefruit tasted mostly like cough syrup -- sweet in a gross, artificial-flavor sort of way
Goat cheese -- I had heard it tasted like "cheesecake", but unfortunately, it merely tasted like less sour goat cheese to me
Chipotle chili pepper sauce -- I wanted to buy tabasco, as this tends to be among the more vinegary of the hot sauces. There was a sweet tanginess to it, whihc was neat, as usually I cannot stand any type of hot or spicy food.
Balsamic vinegar -- The vinegar flavor was almost gone, leaving just a dark sweetness that's hard to describe.
Orange -- like candy! This and the lemon were my favorites.

I realized I might've made a mistake in buying miracle berries as a birthday present when the shopping cart was full of Erk's favorite foods (without taste-tampering): whole wheat bread, dark beer, lemon, salami...
