Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Blurgh! I suspect the chemicals might outweigh the 'one of your five a day' benefits.

I got some strawberry grapes from Aldi. They were delicious.

Grapes are flavoured... they come in varieties that have distinct tastes. How are they adding the flavours?

Definitely a first world problem.

Candy floss and strawberry wine, now that would be odd.

Aren't they just different varieties of grape rather than ones covered in stuff?

Its just line breeding - you can get a strawberry that tastes of pineapple.

Chemicals called esters give fruits their flavours and it is the proportions/types of esters produced by the fruiting body that alter it - nobody thinks its sinister that different varieties of apple can taste very distinct.

Isn't that almost what they have done with vegetarian bacon? Why make vegetarian things taste like meat? Meat tastes like meat.

Are they a more bastardised interpretation than Krispy Kremes? Probably not but I don't see any issues in people eating what they like its their pallet their health and a little bit of something different can be fun.

Chemicals called esters give fruits their flavours and it is the proportions/types of esters produced by the fruiting body that alter it - nobody thinks its sinister that different varieties of apple can taste very distinct. "

My questions to that would be what methods are they using to manipulate the taste, i.e. is it a manipulation of the esters level and by what means, or is it an introduction of other chemicals and if so which ones and what are the side effects?

As far as I know they use selective breeding since the old method of causing muations (chuckling seeds in a pit with radioactive materials - known mutagens) is now illegal...

I would be very curious to know what breeds were crossed to produce a candy floss flavor. Its possible that this is a by product of the genetic modification process, the long term effects of which i understood to be unknown. It's also possible it's done via introduction of chemicals. I'd be researching before i bought them, just to get a better idea of the processes involved, particularly because my son is quite sensitive to foods

I almost tried bubblegum flavour ice cream last night but the lurid, near fluorescent blue colour put me off.
