Food food food

I have been doing a small experiment today - to see whether food tastes better if it's mindfully eaten

The answer is a definite yes !!!!

Try eating even the simplest of meals with all your senses.

Sight - really look at the meal, the effort someone went to prepare it, the colours, textures etc

Smell - take a few seconds to really smell the aromas. What seasoning has the cook used, what herbs, what spices.

Taste - take the first bite, let the taste buds enjoy the sensation
Is it spicy, sweet, salty, sour, peppery, bitter

Touch - well if you are eating with your hands this is a possibility, but for most of us, what is the texture on your tongue, soft, crunchy, rough, slimy, gooey, crispy etc

Hearing - well at least listen to your fellow diners, but maybe it sizzles or you can experience the sound of it crunching, breaking or the subtle sounds of you chewing

I challenge you to enjoy your next meal with all your senses
