The bicarbonate of soda, without much accompanying acid, does little in the way of raising, but it does supply a distinctive, if subtle, bitter flavour which seems to make all the difference to the taste of the biscuit.
We enjoyed our first taste of Sunrise Biscuits, breezing through their infamously long drive-thru line with no other biscuit-eaters in sight, explored the snow-blanketed Duke Gardens, marveled at the Duke Chapel covered in snow at midnight, and drove up to Boone for snowboarding at Beech Mountain.
We report two naturalistic citizen science experiments designed to highlight the influence of the texture of plateware on people's rating of the mouthfeel and taste of food (specifically, biscuits) sampled from that plateware.
You took a bite of biscuit, a bite of banana pepper, a bite of creamed corn, each taste enhancing the next, each ingredient given its proper attention.
This makes the flavour too intense for my taste – the biscuit itself should be sugary and light, to contrast with the rich, chocolatey bitterness of the ganache filling.

But, no matter where you're sitting, the food is worth the trip: hot flaky biscuits to start, well-packed crab cakes, roasted carrots that taste of green market, not Gerber, and can entirely change your impression of the vegetable.
In the first experiment, participants tasted a biscuit from a pair of plates, one having a rough and the other a smooth finish.
The outdoor escalators at a Taste of Urbanspace drop you off right near the Stomping Ground counter, the second shop from this Del Ray business, much beloved for its buttermilk biscuits.
