Apparently not, according to a now-famous 2001 study that saw Frédéric Brochet turn wine detective for his PhD. Challenging 54 oenophiles to de- scribe a wine that he put before them, they universally used descriptors typ- ical of red wine – unaware that they were instead drinking white, tampered with an odourless red dye. The study caught fire (primarily because everyone took such pleasure at putting so-called wine experts in their place). It also became a useful prece- dent for reminding us that sometimes, all is not what it appears. Sour, salty, fat… these flavours are supposed to be detected by our tongue and roof of our mouth. Yet, so much of what we taste is linked to its visual aspect. “Pinkish-white will be sweet, yellow and green will be sour and white and blue tastes salty,” says Oxford professor Charles Spence in ‘Eating with our eyes’ (p36). Food has long been linked to how it looks. Sometimes it is to display hos- pitality, other times, wealth – banquets at the Vatican are said to include whole peacocks delivered to the table. One only needs to look at the bemus- ing popularity of the multi-coloured “freakshake” to recognise that we don’t always eat food for the way it tastes. Perhaps, though, we can still find culinary beauty in the natural. In the intrepid hunt for New York’s salmon, as told by Ali Watkins on p40, she de- scribes “hordes of slick green backs, begging to be hooked.” If we can take pleasure in the humble beginnings of our produce – as well as the final, gussied-up version, dished out in a fancy restaurant – so much the better.

As Billig states, “the term banal nationalism is introduced to cover ideological habits which enable established nations of the West to be repro- duced.”1 Some signs of nation- hood are not recognized as such by the population because they are “so familiar, so continual.”2 In Turkmenistan, national crafts seem to be the main reminders of national belonging.
