Flavor Tripping with Miracle Fruit!

You've got to read this article from the New York Times about "miracle fruit." It's a berry which, according to the article, "rewires the way the palate perceives sour flavors for an hour or so, rendering lemons as sweet as candy." So, so cool. Apparently there are "flavor tripping" parties where guests are given a berry and then led to a buffet of all sorts of foods. One dude quoted in the article said that a scoop of lemon sorbet in a glass of Guinness tasted like a chocolate milk shake. I've got to try this.
