The new miracle fruit

There's a new miracle fruit on the block. And it's actually called "miracle" fruit. It's a tiny berry from West Africa that causes your taste buds to become confused. For about an hour after eating it sour things will taste sweet and sweet things will taste cloyingly sweet. Someone in NY has started having "food tripping" parties where everyone eats the berries and then tastes all kinds of foods- hot sauce, lemon wedges, goat cheese. Check out this article in the NY Times.
