| This menu-driven program explores the biological reasons why humans have the most amazing sense of taste on the planet. Persuading a family raised on Chinese food to try ripe Stilton cheese and a group of gourmet cheese lovers to try a Chinese delicacy of fermented raw duck eggs, host Nigel Marven assesses how we end up with such extraordinary tastes that vary across different cultures. Yale University professor Linda Bartoshuck discusses how the tongue and nose work together to taste food, and University of Pennsylvania professor Paul Rozin accompanies Marven to a chili eating contest, where he analyzes the exhilaration of the contestants. A BBCW Production. (30 minutes, color) Can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive. |
