Eating engages all of our senses. We devour with our eyes and noses even before we taste. We hear slurp, crunch, mmmmm. And what about touch? The tongue senses, too — succulent or granular, slippery or crispy.
New word: rheology. What do you know about the science of mouthfeel? Every time you bite into these Baked Sweet Corn Niblets, you’ll arouse all your senses — lovely to see, wonderfully aromatic, sizzling hot, creamy, chewy and very, very tasty.
