That Sounds Delicious

The BBC writes that Britain’s famous Fat Duck restaurant is adding sound to its food’s already formidable arsenal of appeal.

Sound of the Sea, on the menu of the three-Michelin-starred Fat Duck restaurant, features seafood and edible seaweed on a bed of sand-like tapioca — all washed down with the sound of breaking waves.

While this may sound like a Fat Load, the restaurant’s owner claims that research carried out at someplace called “Oxford University” has revealed that sound has the capacity to augment the sensation of taste.
