What kind of fancy taste/food experiences do you know that I can quickly acquire as part of a birthday gift? (lemmy.ml)

Heyho, I had a great idea for a birthday gift, but due to circumstances have to rethink quickly and now I am trying to create a collection of many small fancy things as the giftee (aka the person that receives the gift) in the past introduced Miracle Berrys into our group (they make sour taste sweet). So anything unusual and interesting counts.

So currently I have on my list:

Butterfly Pea Tea (changes color when in contact with acid; lemon)
Pop Rocks (exploding powder)

What else could be interesting? Germany if that matters.

My contribution would be candied hibiscus flowers in syrup. They can be used as a garnish on a dessert like a tart or a nice sorbet, but they're perfectly fine to eat on their own. The flower has a subtle warm berry-like flavor. You don't eat the syrup directly but you can mix it in drinks or serve it with desserts.

I don't know how much of a chocolate lover the person in question is, but if they like it a fun thing to try is a sampler of single origin chocolates. It can be fun to taste the difference between chocolates from different regions and see how one is fruity, another is smokey, another is earthy etc.
