We tasted different herbs and spices, later taking part in a graded tasting exercise. Each member of the class was blindfolded and asked to distinguish between turmeric and curry. Then we were asked to taste an herb - mine was tarragon - and a vinegar. After this we took our blindfolds off and attempted to pick out by sight the nut or spice specified by our instructor.I scored six out of seven in the exercise, only getting red wine vinegar wrong (I thought it was white wine vinegar). That is really quite mortifying because I consume red wine vinegar everyday - it's part of the vinaigrette for the Luto-lutuan staple, the salad. The vinegar used for the exercise was even the same brand that I use.
