The "miracle fruit" (Sideroxylon dulcificum if you want to get all scientific about it), is a cranberry-sized West African berry that that numbs your sour and bitter tastebuds for a couple of hours after eating it. That means that everything that used to taste sour now tastes sweet. After eating one stout beers taste like chocolate milkshakes, grapefruits taste like pixie sticks, cheeses taste like frosting, it will make even the crappiest tequila taste like lemonade.
The freeze-dried tablets are really hard to get outside of Asia, but I am fully interested. If anyone is here from Asia and could send me some, I'll pay you for it.
Seriously.
Do it.
You wikiquote, I wikiquote
QuoteHowever, in many countries they can be purchased over the internet.
LOL, Don't try that though.
I don't think there are any in India (India comes under Asia, yes)
Also: This is friggin sweet. A fruit that gives you
pleasure.
that sounds awesome.
I suddenly want some of this.
Illusions? It'll probably be banned sooner or later.

Yes, but some people make sweet lemonade. They add some x-tra sugar.

You can get it fresh, powdered or freeze-dried.
If someone from the UK could order these and ship them to me. I would pay you for the entire process, and throw in a little extra just for the effort.
