My experimental food kick continues.  On today's menu is tamarind drink.  I've had tamarind before, so I thought I had some idea of what to expect.

Nope.

This is like drinking distilled, liquefied sugar.  I'm fighting my gag reflex just thinking about the last sip.  I managed to drink about half of it, but the rest is going down the sink.  If Fear Factor is looking for another vomit-inducing drink for their show, I recommend this one.  Bleah.  =P

[edit]

I reconsidered on my way to dumping it, because I hate wasting food of any kind. I stood by the sink swirling the contents in the glass and wondering if it was as bad as my last impression. I got it close enough for a quick sniff, and just the smell set off my gag reflex again. I normally have a very strong stomach, but apparently this vile liquid managed to fall into a rare personal niche.

Would diluting it help?

(I have seen a picture of a tamarind koolaid package)

That's what I was contemplating before I dumped it, but I made the mistake of smelling it again first and there was no going back.

I still like tamarind, but this stuff was nasty.
