Professor Charles Spence has coined the term "gastrophysics" to describe the various factors that affect the way we taste. Lighting in the room to the colour of the plate can change the way a dish tastes. For instance, "people pay more for exactly the same food when given heavier cutlery". First broadcast on Today, 2 June 2015.
