Funny that this thread came up a couple of days ago, I actually ordered some Miracle fruit tablets from think geek a couple of weeks ago and had some friends over for a flavour tripping party. Pretty cool stuff.

You can get the tablets a lot cheaper than the actual fruit too.

I am surprised that nobody has hinted as to whether a girlfriend/wife would be more easily convinced to... never mind.

Bah. Nevermind. I thought it was magic fruit. dumbledore picture. Would have been funny. Wonder if the op would change the title to make the joke work? Bah.

The Raw fruit costs so much because it only has a shelf life of 2-3 days.

Pretty neat actually. Id be interested in trying it just for ####s and giggles.

I've tried it before. It's actually pretty neat. You can bite into a lemon without that puckering feeling or any sour taste at all. It actually tastes quite good. It's quite a bit different that putting sugar on something. Sugar just masks the flavour, miracle fruit changes it.

That said, it is expensive, but it's cool to try once.

Was going to order some for kicks, but out of stock from miraclefruit.ca
Anyone know an alternative source.

thinkgeek.com sells tablets (freeze dried berries) that work just fine, and from the sounds of it are a lot cheaper than the actual berries.

Yeah, thinkgeek's prices are better too. Last time I ordered from them, I got a 3-pack of the tablets, so it didn't really cost me extra in shipping.

This thread is back from the dead! For the recond, I was charged $15.00 for 10 tablets. It was expensive, but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't buy the berries though.

Thanks guys, will get a pack later.
First thing I'll do is probably try a black coffee after taking a tablet. See what that tastes like.

I don't know if that would do much.

We tried 90 and 99% cacao chocolate and it still just tasted like crap.

The things I tried that I liked the best/thougth were pretty cool were:

Lemon/Lime Juice: kind of the go to, really delicious/freaky
Raspberries: Not tart at all, they taste like jam
Gooseberries: same as raspberries, they lose all of their tartness, and are crazy good
Salt & vinegar chips: taste just a little bit sweet, but no vinegar taste at all
Hot sauce: turns sweet, and cuts back the heat just a little bit

You don't need the fruit if you choose more wisely your GF or wife. Or maybe try showering more often.

I fear that you may have missed what I was trying to get at. I think the post by hulkrogan may help you.

Why would you want to change the taste of lime juice? It is the single most awesome cooking ingredient in the entire world!
