Have you noticed we taste each bite of food during our exhalation? You probably know how intrinsically intertwined smell is with taste, how smelling is the better part of tasting, but now I also think that smell and taste are two terrific way-stations on the same sense-pleasure circuit.
Try this: Take a bite, a smallish one, of something delicious. Chew with your mouth closed. With each inhale, chew, and pay attention to smelling the delicious that's still on your plate. And then exhale, chew, and taste.
What do you think of that magic?
