Cultural Feast – Gastropologie: Taste Bud Tripping with the Miracle Fruit

Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 – Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020

06:30 PM
US/Central

Experience the magic of the miracle berry--that changes sour taste buds into sweet receptors--in the rainforest of the Cockrell Butterfly Center. Along the dramatically lit trails, you will meet the staff and love bugs of the Butterfly Center and enjoy a variety of foods selected for their high-impact miracle berry transformation. Even the most sour and tart foods, such as lemons, are transformed into sweet morsels.

Much of what is produced here has been associated with love over the centuries, such as chocolate and honey, will be featured this evening. Filled with unexpected flavors, this Valentine's taste bud trip is guaranteed to sweeten things up!

Advance ticket purchase recommended by February 7. No refunds will be made 72 hours before the event, however tickets can be transferred to another individual. Please notify webmaster@hmns.org with your name, transaction number, and name of the guests using your tickets.
