The dish that changed something · 2007
Sound of the Sea
Heston Blumenthal · 1966 · The Fat Duck, Bray, Berkshire
Shellfish and sea vegetables over an edible sand, eaten with the sound of waves through headphones. The measurements behind it showed that what you hear changes what you taste.
Why it works
The sound of the sea raises the perceived saltiness of the same plate. It is an ingredient the tongue never touches, and it is measurable.
