With an idea that alters your taste buds—not your mind, we hasten to point out—reader Alyssa Koser has won the O&A Great Winter Party Contest. Alyssa’s idea, “Flavor Tripping Party,” involves Miracle Berries, which can be purchased online. These berries (synsepalum dulcificum) alter taste buds to make sour things taste sweet. Ask guests to bring one or two food items from a list of suggested foods. At the party, each guest lets a berry dissolve on his or her tongue, then tastes all of the dishes. Says Alyssa: “Guinness tastes like chocolate milk, and goat cheese tastes like icing.” Alyssa, who lives in Greenville, will be rewarded with a dinner party for eight at Piccolina Toscana (Wilmington). The menu will be farm-inspired and entrees will be served family style. The dinner is valued at more than $330. We received several other creative party ideas, including: • Alexa Rabb’s “Around the World” —Everyone makes a different appetizer and drink focused on one country and also dresses accordingly. • Judith Calhoun’s “Mystery Pot Luck Challenge”—Guests are given dish assignments with a list of foods for their dish. They are to use as many foods on their lists as possible. Dishes are served anonymously, and guests then rate them. Points also are given for number of items on the lists they used. The guest with the highest combined score gets a prize. Both Rabb and Calhoun, who live in Wilmington, will receive a $25 gift certificate to Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant. — O&A
