The Powerful Relationship Between Food and Music
Food and music are a powerful combination when cooking! Music has the ability to improve your behavior, while food can provide comfort. This is just a small sample size of its capabilities when you combine cooking and music. I am certain you have noticed the effect on yourself and felt the relationship between food and music. The food most likely tastes better or you’re filled with a change in behavior. For example, junk food may make you more sluggish, while a hearty salad may give you the energy to have a productive day. No matter of the choices you make, there is no judgement here at Karibe! 😊 Dive a little deeper with us and let’s learn more about how food and music coexist. We have created our own Karibbean Music Playlist just for you. Check it out and let us know what you think!
The Power of Food and Music
One of the major key elements in cooking like a Karibbean is the importance of background noise. As we call it, cooking background music. It is such a routine that we sometimes overlook the effect it has on us. Being that we are high on the foodie level scale, it is only right that we will look into studying the effects.
Did you know that music makes us eat in a different way? Music increases our food and drink intake. It makes sense why successful bars are certain to have great music. It creates a nice ambiance for all the patrons and inherently has us stay out a little bit longer. A peculiar observation is that music influences chewing. As you dance to the beat, you may chew to the beat as well. Next time you are out on the lash take note of your rhythm on the dance floor and at the table.
It is quite fascinating that music has a strong emotional and behavioral effect on us. Now that you have more insight check out some of our tips on how to set the vibe while cooking.
