While other scientists had been wasting their time seeking to cure diseases, one Harvard researcher has invented a device that allows you to inhale food vapors. Finally, we’re free from the load of shoving delicious food in our faces!
Daily Mail reporter Laura Powell traveled to France try among the many only two Le Whafs in existence and meet its inventor, Professor David Edwards. The device, which matches on sale q4 for $135, turns specially-prepared liquidized versions of varied foods (sold separately) into a cloud of tiny liquid droplets which might be then captured in a tumbler bowl. Powell describes the experience of inhaling essence of lemon tart through a pitcher straw:
At first, my mouth feels warm and dry; then, as the droplets within the smoke settle, I will make out the specific flavours. The lemon tart is zingy and fresh. Next, a whaf of tarte tatin fills my mouth with caramel … Best of all, each breath (or ‘whaf’) contains hardly any calories – so you may have as much as you favor without gaining weight.
Hmm… tasting things with my tongue has been getting really boring lately. Plus, ” whaffing” for 10 minutes only produces 200 calories, and as a woman I’m always struggling to consume as few calories as possible. (This newsletter appears inside the ” Femail” component of the paper, natch.) I will see why Edwards predicts this ” futuristic way of eating” is going to catch on worldwide!
But Le Whaf doesn’t just work with food. That you could pour your favorite alcohol in it and inhale as much as you would like without getting drunk. I bet champagne is even more fun while you can’t feel the bubbles in your tongue or get tipsy. Though, we should still have some use for inebriation someday; Edwards admits he came up with the premise for Le Whaf after he’d ” had a couple of too many glasses of wine.”
Despite this inauspicious beginning, Edwards has big dreams for his invention:
Imagine an eatary where, as opposed to sitting at a table, you walk around,’ he says in his chalky-soft voice. ‘Instead of eating food, you’re breathing it in as you walk from room to room, each with a different flavour. Celery in one. Steak in another. Then pate.
Damn, I will be able to’t wait until q4! Inside the meantime, I’m going to head to the Cheesecake Factory and wander around aimlessly without ordering anything. Mmm… I will almost taste that celery scent now!
