Taste three before you buy one

“Asking for samples feels like you are being difficult. The person behind the counter does this all day and would rather you knew what you were buying.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to the nearest counter that sells by weight: a cheesemonger, a deli, an olive or cured-meat case.
  2. Ask to taste three you cannot tell apart, and let them talk you through the difference.
  3. Buy a small piece of the one that surprised you, not the one you already knew you liked.
