Naming is important. Even for food.
A few observations cited Brian Wansink’s Mindless Eating book:
Old chocolate cake was rated as better-tasting when it was called Belgian Black Forest Double Chocolate Cake.
Kids ate more veggies when broccoli was referred to as "Dinosaur Trees," a V-8-type veggie drink was named "Rainforest Smoothie," and peas were labeled “Power Peas.”
We can fool ourselves for good!
So kids, maybe my “meat medley” name wasn’t such a bad idea?
