If you missed last night’s event, don’t worry, The Berry Fairy is hosting another Flavor Tripping Party on Friday, July 31.  And, as a thank you to all you Austinites for such wonderful support, The Berry Fairy is offering a limited number of tickets at $10 off, that’s only $30 a person.

Miracle Fruit Fans attended last night’s party at the Belmont and had quite a good time sampling all the tart treats.  There were several miracle fruit virgins around who were thrilled to share thoughts on their first experience.

“This is totally freaky.  This lemon tastes like it has sugar on it and so does the grapefruit.” — Cindy F.

“I thought it would be more dramatic.” – Jared S.

“Have you tried the goat cheese?  I swear I thought it was cream cheese.” — Jenny L.

“The miracle fruit itself tastes good.  Kind of sweet and with the texture of a kalamata olive.” — Courtney S.

“I’m a huge fan of flavor tripping.  I’m gonna have to get some and try things out of my fridge.” — Dave 

“Yuck!  Tabasco, still tastes like Tabasco.” — Kim P.

Let us know what you thought of the party and of course, the miracle fruit.
