When I first read about the miracle berry, a fruit with the capacity to change the perception of taste, my first thought was "I must know what this is like!". I ordered some tablets containing the fruit straight away, and as soon as it turned up I went straight to the supermarket to stock up on fruit juice, salt and vinegar crisps, and lemons.
I gave each of my housemates one of the pink pills, and we proceeded to let them dissolve on our tongues. The taste was similar to that of raisins, or dried cranberries. I found them quite palatable, although one of the guys said that they were not to his taste. All of us were skeptical concerning the claims made about the incredible effects of this berry, so it was with apprehension that we cut a lime into pieces and bit into them, in unison.
I saw the eyes of my companions light up as they experienced what I did; a sweet, jammy flavour, similar to that of a sweet orange. We were unanimously impressed by the total transformation of the flavour. Though the acid still stung our lips, no sourness was perceptible. What is more, the taste was not merely sweet-it was totally delicious. We then proceeded to sample the rest of the assorted foods. Grapefruit was supremely divine, and lemons tasted similar to sherbert. Cranberry juice lost its astringency, and was more like ribena. Pineapple juice was nectar from the gods. Salt and vinegar crisps were like candies. We revelled in this bizarre new experience, gorging ourselves. Everything tasted fantastic, and very moreish.
Having established that the effects of miraculin truly lived up to our hopes, we decided that we would bite the bullet, and sip a little vinegar each. As I brought the glass to my mouth, the pungent acetic whiff filled my nose. But on the tongue, the vinegar was intensely sweet, like sickly thin syrup.
This was an incredible experience, and all of the participants agreed that it was totally different to anything we had done before. There is nothing to compare it to-no drug so specifically and completely alters a single sense whilst leaving the rest of your consciousness so totally untouched. I cannot recommend this substance highly enough-our flavour tripping party was superb and bizarre. I also love how totally accessible this is to people who would not touch other drugs-your straightest friend will be open to having his perceptions profoundly altered for a short time. Needless to say, miraculin has great potential as a trip toy, and I eagerly await the opportunity to use it whilst under the effects of a psychedelic.
