This One’s Just Right

The supertasters wanted salt to the max, up to the point where most people find foods not only very salty but irritating to the mouth. “For them, more is better,” Hayes says, “and Goldilocks was wrong.

Richard Knox on NPR’s For Supertasters, A Desire for Salt is Genetic.

I love the drama in “AND GOLDILOCKS WAS WRONG!”  Puts the salt on my pretzel, it do.

Wake Up, Bacon!

From Fidel Gastro (you better watch out for Slashfood, comrade)—Maple Bacon Morning coffee.

If you read the reviews, of which there are 250, you will see that Rush Limbaugh touts this coffee which should tell you all you need to know right there.

Oh, here’s another review, perhaps this post will go on all day:

I was a little worried about this one. The name scared me. But I really liked the taste. The flavor was mild. It tastes like maple bacon COFFEE, not like you are eating maple flavored bacon. So, if you are looking for an interesting new coffee flavor to try, go for this one. If you are looking for greasy, maple slathered slices of bacon, try the grocery store.

You know what Andy would say.
