Homework: Out of the Ordinary Tastings
posted by
Tastings don't have to be limited to wine or cheese. Like we saw with Ann Noble's recent heirloom tomato tasting, and now Sam's (of Becks & Posh fame) fantastic write-up on garlic varietals, all sorts of ingredients can lend themselves to more intensive exercises. Tastings I'd like to do include honey, unrefined nut oils, nut butters, heirloom beans, rices, and sea vegetables. Pick something, rally a few friends and compare the range of tastes, textures, appearances, and smells.

i agree, i'd love to do a peanut butter tasting. all PB's are good no doubt, but to go through 10 or 15 of them by the spoonful or on some really really plain cracker would be fantastic. my current favorite, by the way, is a small producer named Brad's Organic Peanut Butter.
