  8. “We normally chew about a hundred times a minute. But if we let something linger in our mouth, feel its texture, smell its bouquet, roll it around on the tongue, then chew it slowly so that we can hear it’s echoes, what we’re really doing is savoring it, using several senses in a gustatory free for all” – Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
