For this experiment, I decided to eat with a blindfold and "nose plugs" in an attempt to take away sight and smell. This decreased my ability to easily perform this task, as well as increase my reliance on texture/touch. I had predicted that the lack of smell would also decrease my sense of taste, however, in this experiment, I found that it did not (probably because of the poor quality of the nose plugs haha).
I wasn't expecting the lost and slightly frustrated feelings that came as I tried to eat. I didn't know where the food was, how big of a portion was on the end of the fork, and when the meal would be complete. It made me feel a deeper appreciation for my senses.
