The formula for perfect ice cream enjoyment is an idea that only came to the minds of British scientists! Nevertheless, this discovery is made seriously, and the formula looks like this (i@ — 14°C + ½S + UDS + 12s) x 2 = MF*. What does it mean?
British scientist and nutrition expert Sarah Kemp has seriously addressed the question of how to eat ice cream correctly to maximize enjoyment. Dr. Kemp even derived an exact formula for optimal ice cream consumption — (i@ — 14°C + ½S + UDS + 12s) x 2 = MF*. This mathematical expression represents a scientific description of the correct sequence of actions that allows one to fully reveal the flavor of ice cream by activating all of a person's taste receptors.
In simple terms, this sequence can be explained as follows:
1. Take the ice cream out of the freezer, remove the packaging, and let it warm up to a temperature of 14 °C. It should become slightly soft, which will take about 15 minutes.
2. Take two teaspoons. One will be used to measure portions — half a spoonful of ice cream — and the other will be for eating. Hold the spoon you will eat with upside down.
3. Place the ice cream on the tip of your tongue to feel the first notes of flavor.
4. Slowly turn the spoon in your mouth to enjoy not only the taste but also the texture.
5. Take a deep breath through your mouth to activate the upper receptors and sense flavor nuances that usually go unnoticed.
6. Hold the ice cream in your mouth for 12 seconds before swallowing. For the full flavor to be revealed, the ice cream must melt.
7. Repeat all the above steps over and over like a true taster.
Interestingly, but in our opinion, there is no need to complicate life — the main thing is to choose or make really high-quality ice cream. And enjoyment is guaranteed!
