Cutlery can influence taste of food say scientists

What colour spoon would you eat your breakfast with?


Coloured spoons
A team from Oxford University has been looking at how the cutlery we use can influence the flavours we taste.
The scientists found that cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; and white spoons can make yoghurt taste better.
The findings from the study suggest the brain makes judgements on how a food will taste before you put it in your mouth.
More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, colour and shape of cutlery on how food tastes.
As well as colour, the size of the cutlery was also found to change flavour.
Food was reported to be sweeter when served on smaller spoons.
Dr Harrar, who lead the experiment, said: "Subtly changing eating implements and tableware can affect how pleasurable, or filling, food appears."

  1. Hey, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your website in Ie, it looks
    fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

    Other then that, excellent blog!

  3. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
    it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
    point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste
    your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving
    us something enlightening to read?

  4. Howdy! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find
    a template or plugin that might be able to
    resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Many thanks!

  6. I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both
    educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head.

    The problem is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    I'm very happy that I found this in my search for something regarding
    this.
