Dining In the Dark

Hide Assignment Information

This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.
In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to think about how your senses contribute to an everyday activity like eating. Choose a meal that you will, preferably, eat at home. Prepare your meal, set it in front of you while sitting, and then place a blindfold over your eyes. Remain blindfolded throughout the meal (from soup/salad through dessert). After the dinner is over, write about your experience by answering the following questions:
Please rank the senses in terms of how much you relied on each, then tell how you used each sense. (feel free to answer this as a narrative rather than recreating this chart)

1 = relied on most;
