Abstract
A method for linking tasting a food product with listening to an auditory phrase. The method involves identifying sequenced flavor notes in a food product and developing an auditory or musical phrase that represents or artistically relates to the tasting experience of the flavor notes. The auditory phrase is played and listened to concurrently with tasting the food product, thus producing a combined sensory experience.
