Texture...
Oct. 20th, 2016 11:31 pmOdd the things one recognizes and thinks about.
I take a couple of gummy vitamins each night- a senior multivitamin, D
& fiber. Last thing I do prior to brushing my teeth. And every night the recognition how much I focus on not how much I enjoy the flavor of these gummies, but their texture. If feels good.
It dawns on me just how important the 'mouthfeel' of a foodstuff is to me. Chocolate for example; properly tempered chocolate gives this fabulous unctuous mouthfeel, a sensation you don't get from Hershey's, get inklings of from Dove, & luxuriate in Dagoba, Scharfenburger & Lindt.
Now I've heard others remark about disliking something because of its texture, such as mushrooms, tomatos or okra.
Enough naval grazing.
