I am having trouble finding out about a project I am doing. I was 
wondering if you know anything about how the appearance of food affects 
the taste of it. For example, in my experiment I am going to color plain 
vanilla pudding. I will have people try it and I am wondering if how they 
see the food will make them taste it differently, like if I color it 
yellow will they interpret the pudding as butterscotch or bananna instead 
of vanilla.
