Do you ever look down at your beer and wish it tasted like a chocolate milkshake or lament the fact that Tabasco sauce doesn't taste like donut glaze? No, me neither, but luckily for you and I, someone did.
 
Native to West Africa, the berries of the aptly named miracle fruit contain a protein called miraculin which scrambles your taste buds for an experience of Willy Wonka-esque proportions. Namely, turning anything sour or bitter you consume into a supersonically sweet flavour sensation. Think vinegar tasting of apple juice and feta transformed into baked cheesecake.

Conveniently available in pill form, swirl one of these babies around your mouth for a short spell and brace yourself for 15-60 minutes of culinary mayhem. The snozberries may not end up tasting like snozberries, but that's the whole delicious point.
