Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Yesterday, Marisa told you about the 2008 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting this past week (what - you didn't attend?), Los Angeles and Clearbrook, British Columbia beat out 120 other entries, including ones from Macedonia and the Philippines, for the title.
Here's a closer look at the competition: the 10 judges based their selections on five criteria: taste, smell, texture, aftertaste, and clarity. They downed water from three categories: municipal, bottled, and the newest, purified.
In case you were wondering, the bottled water winner was Tumai Water from Martinsburg, West Virginia, the purified water winner was from Federalsburg, Maryland, and the carbonated bottled water winner flowed all the way from Emsdetten, Deutschland.
All of this begs the question: if you're tasting water, is it necessary to cleanse your palette between sips?
And we're wondering: how's your tap water?
| Yes. It's no L.A. water, but it'll do | |
|---|---|
| No way, I send it through a filter first | |
| No, I prefer bottled/carbonated/flavored/froofy | |
| I'm not a big water drinker |
