Ronan's feelings had been teeter-tottering between grouchy sarcasm and silent contemplation lately, thanks to recent events. Unfortunately, grouchy sarcasm had managed to correspond with the king of grouch's class. While he had managed to keep those sarcastic remarks to himself so far, someone had finally said something that made the sarcasm spew forth. "Oh yes, salt is salty. Why don't we just go swallow a whole bunch of the stuff. Start gasping for water. That sounds like a party right there," he deadpanned. Merlin!
Now the miracle berry. Something he knew a bit about, but was somewhat weary of. "The miracle berry makes sour foods taste sweet because of a glycoprotein it contains called miraculin. The miraculin binds to the sweetness receptors on our tongues and reacts with the acids in the sour food to produce this effect. However, when heated above 100 degrees Celcius, the miracle berry losses this effect." Thank you, Aunt Mariane for all the cooking lessons over the years. And for teaching him about that fruit too, though he wasn't quite sure about using it. Felt like cheating.
"As for taste testing, a better alternative to pure salt would be a saltine cracker and for umami, you could use a broth of some sort or soy sauce." The last bit he wasn't sure if you could very much of in Britain.
