Party - not the "usual" kind...way cooler, no sexy stuff, unless it is in your mouth
August 9th folks. ***Edited to the 9th for other party considerations***
We are having a Flavor Tripping party at our house. Miracle fruits are those cool weird ass little things that you eat and then they transform your tastebuds from sour receptors to pleasure receptors. Lemons will taste like lemonade, vinegar like apple juice, goat cheese like cream cheese frosting, and stout beers like chocolate milk! And snoz berries will taste like snoz berries.

So here is the plan. We're going to host a pot luck lunch around noon on Sunday the 9th. Around 2 PM we ingest said berries and begin tasting crazy sour things like lemons, limes, onions, celery, and who knows what else.
The potluck lunch part is so that you have a little something in your guts to help cushion things you would not normally eat like raw onions and a face full of lemon juice.
So here is the real scoop:
Dave and I are providing the berries! You MUST RSVP to reserve a berry for yourself. We need to know as soon as possible if you want to attend so we can order more berries if necessary.
We're asking you to:
Please bring something to nosh for all of us at the potluck and something sour. With your RSVP please indicate the sour item you intend to bring for people to try. This is so we dont end up with 500 lemons and nothing super cool. Do your research, find weird and interesting things, expand your mind, and your palates Try your hand at making some funky dessert with sour stuffs.
Some ideas: lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, brussels sprouts, bologna sandwiches, blue cheese, salt & vinegar potato chips, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, mustard, tabasco, guiness beer, chocolate stout, india pale ale, cheap tequila, and cranberry juice.
We will also provide drinks and a standard sour assortment: lemons, limes, and onions.
Please feel free to bring your partners, SO's, or friends but this is not a public list party. Please do not repost to forums or lists. Thanks!
