Today we received our contraband chef hats, aprons, and kitchen towels.
Our daily chocolate tasting was of milk chocolates:
Green and Black: very smooth mouth feel, I can kinda taste the milk in it, no pungent after taste.
Michel Cluizel: smooth mouth feel, I taste a lot less milk in this one, has a bit of an after taste.
El Rey: has a snap when I bite into it unlike the others, it has a really delightful kinda fruity taste, pleasant after taste. I liked this one the best.
Amedel: smooth mouth feel, more chocolate taste than milk chocolate, no real after taste.
We also did a triangle test to determine if it was possible to distinguish between Coke and Pepsi
What's a triangle test? You're given three cups, and two of the three are the same and you have to identify which cup is different.
Before we performed the test, I swore I could distinguish between Coke and Pepsi! When I did the test and made my choice, I was right! I could even distinguish which one was Pepsi and which one was Coke.
We also did a soft cheese taste test
With goat cheese: I've actually visited a goat farm and I'm very familiar what goat milk products taste like. I really don't like lamb's meat and the taste of lamb is always a tell tale sign of goat cheese. We ate lemon then ate the goat cheese to see how tart/sour it is compared to other cheeses...
Feta cheese: very good, salty, a lot more dense.
Farmer's cheese: basically tastes like sharp cheddar, very good.
I really enjoyed the Alton Brown video on chocolate chip cookies!!!
Dr. Sloan suggested we look up "Alton Brown shop lifting". Here's the link: It's hilarious!
