Are you a supertaster?

A while back I heard that Doug over at Blogsoop had some Supertaster Tests that he was giving away to food bloggers. Being that I always wanted to know where I fell on the tasting scale, I got in touch with him and asked (very nicely) if there was any way that I could become one of the food bloggers to be gifted with a little white strip imbued with harmless chemicals. He said yes and sent me not one, but two white strips.

Scott and I decided to take the test in front the camera and what you see above is the result. Sadly, according to this test I am a non-taster, the strip didn't taste like anything to me. Scott found it to be incredibly bitter, thus determining that he is a Super Taster!

The line between people food and dog food blurs

Recently while I was standing at the counter of my favorite coffee joint (Infusion in Mt. Airy, PA for those of you in the area), when I noticed a plate of cookies on the counter. They looked good, sort of natural and whole grain-y and I leaned in for a closer look. That was when I spotted the sign pasted just above them, stating that they were gourmet dog snacks. I shifted away from them, looking to either side in the hopes that I no one else had seen me checking out the dog biscuits with such hungry interest.

Not long after that experience, BlogSoop put up a Canine Tasting Menu, a sort of roundup of food designed for the pooches that looks (for the most part) very much like people food. I think my favorite has to be the Redbarn Roofle Waffles that appear just like human waffles and claims to have the scent of real maple syrup baked right in. Seeing this made me realize that I was probably not the first person to check out those dog cookies at Infusion with interest and I probably won't be the last.
