Food technologist!

The other day I had a drink with a South African who works on my campus, and it turns out that his mother is a food technologist!

Basically, she has this lab and can whip up any candy on contract.

For example, she made three different types of Kit Kat (including a Black Forest cake one) when the company commissioned her, and she brought home samples to try.

She also made this drink that replicates the taste of the South African hairy peach, which feels all dry when you bite it from its long hairs but then is all juicy from the peach flesh; the drink makes your mouth dry first, and then the peach flavor hits you.
