HealthyPatterns - Have you ever tasted more delicious coffee while drunk from the Cup Favorites? Or pizza more delicious when eaten with the hands rather than with a fork and knife? You are not imagining it because that theory may indeed exist. A new study shows, weight, color, size, and shape of the cutlery can affect the taste of food. Researchers from Oxford University conduct three experiments to determine how to affect food taste Dinnerware. On the first two experiments, participants felt the yogurt with a spoons that vary the size, weight, model, and color.
While on a third experiment, participants felt the cheese with some dinnerware, such as a fork, knife, spoon, or toothpick. After that, they questioned if there is a different sense of the variety of Dinnerware being used. Results of the study showed, although the participants ate the same food, they admitted that there are differences in the flavor of the foods. Every time you eat food from different instruments, they felt a different taste as well.
For example, when they eat yogurt with a spoon that is lightweight, compact and feels more yogurt looks more expensive. While smaller spoons tend to make the yogurt flavor becomes sweeter. The cheese tasted salty and most sharp when eaten with a knife. Researchers say, our bodies automatically have expectations on taste food before food enters the mouth. However, when the Dinnerware used previous unpredictable, we cannot use this automated system. "Then, we had so much care on other aspects of the taste or texture of foods that are usually ignored," said the researchers. Then, it's not unusual if you prefer to use the same tools to eat constantly, right?
