"Thank you, Sir." Kye had to admit... she was quite grateful for the cucumber water. Obviously he would think of that, but their observations would be skewed depending on what they ate in what order. Although that could be a different experiment altogether. After writing her initial observations, Kye went and got herself a full cup of the cucumber water. She sipped a little of it, to get the sour taste out of her mouth before beginning the actual lesson. Swish swish here, swish swish there. Now it was time to try with the berry! She felt a little apprehensive, but hey, maybe this would help her eat healthy food more? Was there a side effect to eating too many of these berries? Hmmm… she would try to remember to ask the professor once she had finished her observations.

SPOILER!!: Kye’s Notes

Chocolate: Sweet of course, slight bitterness. After-> Definitely much sweeter. Almost too sweet?
Grape: Slightly sour.After-> Neutral, hint of sweet. Almost too weird to eat anymore in this fashion.
Pickle: Sour. After->Very sweet? Again, too weird when you have an expected taste.
Lemon: Really sour. After-> About as sweet as the pickle. Perhaps there is a limit to how sweet these can get?

Gustum Dulcis/Acerbus/Acidulus/Salsus Sweet/Bitter/Sour/Salty

Okay, she had done her experimenting. Perhaps next time they could use a blindfold? That way she didn’t have set expectations. With her notes so far complete, she helped herself to the beakers and red liquid. “Gustum Dulcis” she said over one, changing the taste of the horse radish… hopefully. Oh man this was a tricky class! It could come in handy sometime though... Would they learn to brew this potion sometime soon? As the class ended, Kye helped herself to more cucumber water before packing up.
