Future Stories: The Future Of Taste

Future Stories - A podcast by TheJournal.ie

Categories:

Can you make a dessert sweeter by serving it on a different plate? Does wine taste more flavoursome when you're listening to classical music? And is it really possible to trick your brain into thinking stale crisps are fresh? We dive into what's next for taste, heading to Dublin's Hang Dai Chinese, where music and lighting play as much of a part in the dining experience as the food does. Plus, we speak to Professor Barry Smith, the founding director of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London and one of Europe's leading voices on the science of taste. Brought to you by TheJournal.ie in partnership with Volkswagen.
