6 Quick Steps to Enjoying Fine Food
- LOOK: Take in all the color, symmetry, and texture of the presentation…. oftentimes the better the food looks the better your mind will think it tastes!
- LISTEN: No, food doesn’t talk back, and if it did PETA would have a field day, but there is a lot to listen to, so just open your ears for that crunch, mash, or tear of the fibers as you get ready to consume it.
- SMELL: The one sense we hardly understand and one of the keys to great eats… so follow your nose and elevate your experience.
- TASTE: The moment we all have been waiting for… so move that taste morsel all around your mouth, taking in the sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami in every bite.
- FEEL: As you chew, turn, and swallow, feel the textures of the food and let them complete the moment.
- AFTERTASTE: Relax and don’t eat too fast so you can enjoy the lingering tastes that stick around for a few seconds after each bite. They are often totally different and bring the whole thing full circle.
