Irismarie, you have voiced my question! Eating is a complete sensory experience involving not only taste but aroma, texture and the feel of the food in our mouths, the sight of the food on the plate and in some cases the sound as we crunch into something like an apple or a stalk of celery.
So as I'm sitting in my chair pouring my formula into my peg listening to the glug, glug, glug, smelling the appealing (?) vanilla aroma, feeling the shape of the box in my hands (and nothing in my mouth), watching the formula go in and tasting nothing, I am imagining a crunchy Caesar salad, followed by a thick and gooey hot pepperoni pizza, a glass of nice red wine and some hot apple pie for desert.
What a dreamer!
Bon appetit everyone
