Music makes food more comforting

Date:

Washington: A new study suggests that comfort foods get even more comforting if you eat them with the right kind of music. Previous research shows that genres of music can elicit different emotions, and that the enjoyment of some foods can be affected by emotions.

Han-Seok Seo of the University of Arkansas said research has shown when French or German music was played in a wine store, wines from the same country outsold the others. In this new experiment, 99 taste-testers sampled a “comfort” food – one that is associated with emotions, versus a food that is not – while listening to the same piece of music re-composed as classical, jazz, hip-hop and rock.

Among their findings was the discovery that jazz made chocolate taste measurably better and hip-hop did not. The research is published in the journal Appetite.
