	Food taster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A food taster is a person that eats food to be served to someone else to confirm that it is safe to eat and does not contain toxins or poisons.
		The person to whom the food is going to be served is usually an important person, like an emperor or monarch, or anyone that could possibly be under threat of assassination or harm.
		The safety of the food is determined by observing whether or not the food taster subsequently becomes ill. Food tasting would not be effective against slow-acting poisons that take a long time to show any visible symptoms.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Food taster
		A toxin, in a scientific context, is a biologically produced substance that causes injury to the health of a living thing on contact or absorption, typically by interacting with biological macromolecules such as enzymes and receptors.
		Foodborne illness or food poisoning is caused by consuming food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, prions or parasites.

		Sweet foods in nature, such as fruit and mother’s milk, are rich in the calories infants and children need for growth; bitter-tasting plants and berries may be a warning of poison and thus prompt the child’s rejection.
		Most food professionals are fully aware of the importance of flavor in foods, but frequently unaware of the “nuts and bolts” of flavor evaluation.
		Food professionals however generally agree on a “pattern of good flavor” which is demonstrated by brand leaders whose products have been successful over the long term.

	How Rollback Works - Prevayler - Confluence
		If the food taster dies from poisoning, the king is safe, and a new food taster is hired (it's a tough job, isn't it?).
		If it fails, the transaction is "censored", and the food taster dies, being lazily replaced with a new one.
		Systems with lots of transactions rolling back are almost guaranteed to be dog slow, as deep-copying both the prevalent system and transaction again everytime the food taster dies requires that you cope with the (de)serialization time of your whole object graph into a byte array, and then back again.

		A food allergy is described as an abnormal response to a food brought about by the body's immune system and, without going into great biological detail, causes the release of histamine which is responsible for inflammation and the other symptoms of an allergic reaction.
		Food intolerance will not trigger such a response but it may cause symptoms such as migraines, bloating or skin rashes, and in some cases can worsen the effects of conditions such as asthma, eczema or migraines.
		True food allergies, such as an allergy to wheat, often produce quite violent reactions, from swelling of the lips and tongue or a red rash to the worst case scenario where the reaction can be fatal.

	Virtual reality conquers sense of taste - 31 July 2003 - New Scientist
		Food companies cooking up a novel product will soon be able to check how elderly people will fare when they try to chew on it, thanks to a device that mimics the taste and "mouthfeel" of food.
		The mechanical part of the simulator that is inserted into the mouth has cloth and rubber covers, mainly for sanitary reasons, and is intended to resist the user's bite in a similar way to the real foodstuff.
		The researchers say their device is perfect for people designing new foods, and may even allow young designers to experience the difficulty older people may face in chewing food.

		Ugo DiFonte, a humble contadino (peasant) and his apple-cheeked daughter, Miranda, are captured by the tyrannical Federico Basillione DiVincelli, Duke of Corsoli, and taken to live in the duke's castle, where Ugo is forced to become the corrupt nobleman's food taster.
		The novel is written as a lyrical first-person narrative from the witty food taster's viewpoint and is a detailed memoir revolving around life in a 16th-century Italian palace.
		Conspiracies are as much a part of palace life as the pomp and pageantry of the duke's banquets and a cast of larger than life characters keep the reader entertained throughout.

	Review: The Food Taster
		At bottom, The Food Taster is a tale about misplaced Pride, but it is dressed in so many tortured plot reversals and technical devices that it stumbles a lot and limps across the landscape of Renaissance Italy like a plague victim.
		Elbling did reasonable research into the period and he includes a great deal of detail about food, clothes and living conditions (he even includes several simple, modernized recipes at the end of the book), but he misses upon occasion and those occasions stick out horribly as a result.
		Although he did a lot of research into period food, he only nails the heights of Renaissance food-extravagance with a single dish: whole, roasted swans re-dressed for service in their whole, feathered pelts so that they seem to be alive, but unmoving until sliced open.

		Just as the surgeon guards his fingers from ill-treatment, the food-taster must protect his tastebuds from foods that dull their sensitivity to the many flavours and seasonings he must detect and analyze.
		There are two main pitfalls of which the food-taster must be wary: He must be careful not to eat foods that are so spicy or pungent that they dull his ability to taste other tastes.
		When we picture the glutton - surrounded with food, drink, and physical indulgences - it is not difficult to imagine that it would be difficult for him to cultivate a sense for more refined pleasures.
