Funny holidays - Day of searching for new tastes and smells

The senses help a person to understand the world around him in all its diversity. The brain, which is responsible for analyzing sensations, helps process information about the smells and tastes of food, drinks, medicines, toothpaste and much more. When we encounter a familiar scent, we are immersed in memories of the past. The brain stores data about any previous experience. Therefore, a person who imagines a lemon begins to feel the sourness characteristic of the fruit in his mouth. The sense of smell helps to recognize the taste of food. The brain stores associations caused by the sight of a product that has a certain smell. However, not only repeaters of the oral epithelium are responsible for taste recognition, but also the brain. If you show a person a pod of hot pepper, but at the same time put a piece of apple in his mouth, he will feel bitterness and spiciness. This is due to the brain processing information according to which each product has a certain taste. One of the areas of modern cooking - molecular gastronomy - is dedicated to breaking stereotypes and playing with sensations. Chefs work magic in restaurant kitchens to surprise customers with unusual dishes. The restaurant's menu includes sturgeon caviar with fresh raspberry flavor, an airy soufflé - vinaigrette, dessert in the form of scrambled eggs and bacon, blood sausage and pumpkin soup in the shape of a piece of steak. A smoking gun is used to prepare dishes in molecular cuisine. Thanks to it, the aroma of smoke from a fire appears not only in meat and fish, but also in ice cream, fruit and even tea. An unusual holiday has been invented for everyone who is ready to experiment with their senses. July 25th is the Day of Searching for New Tastes and Smells. You don't have to visit Michelin-starred restaurants to celebrate a fun occasion. Rare combinations and unusual aromas are found in perfume stores. There you can find Don Xerjoff eau de toilette for a pirate party with the smell of tobacco, gunpowder, whiskey and burnt sugar, Womanity perfume by Thierry Mugler, which creates a trail of fish caviar, fig tree and its fruits. People with a keen sense of smell are surprised to encounter the aroma of gasoline, synthetic resin, glue, mushrooms and even pizza in famous perfume compositions. The day of searching for new tastes and smells encourages everyone to experiment. To do this, it is enough to take the initiative and use your imagination. Come up with a new scent on July 25 by creating your own perfume from alcohol and essential oils, prepare your favorite dish according to a new recipe, adding more oriental spices to it. In honor of the holiday, experiments with smells and tastes are encouraged, for which you do not have to be a perfumer or a chef of a gourmet restaurant.
