Food and Music Pairings, MENA edition
Try a recipe or two and listen to some great music. Celebrate National Arab Heritage Month (NAAHM) or MENA Middle Eastern (Levant, Arabian Peninsula, Anatolia Egypt, Iran and Iraq) and North African (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Western Sahara) Heritage Month. Experimental psychologist Charles Spence and researchers at the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford found there may be clear associations between taste and pitch. Their research has suggested there may be implicit associations between taste and pitch. High pitched sounds are mainly associated with sweet and sour tasting foods while low pitched notes are more commonly paired with more bitter and umami tastes. Start here with just a small sampling, feel free to take a deeper dive and find a pairing that takes you on a journey of discovery.
