Music on the plate: can sound influence our perception of food? With Simone Campa, Leonardo Prieto and Deiniol Pritchard - a podcast by Slow Food Youth Network

Music and food are both important cultural expressions of different communities, they are part of rituals, they are elements that support the creation of bonds among people and they are more direct ways of communication compared to language for instance. But music and sounds can also trigger a different sensory outcome when we taste food. So what are the connections between food and music from a cultural perspective? And how do soundscape and music influence our taste and flavour perception?
