Eau contraire: no two waters taste the same

The Japan Times, 27 June, 2008

“From the marketing bumf, you’d think all mineral waters tasted alike. The aquifers are ancient, the nature is untouched and blah blah blah. But H2O is such a great solvent it steals a bit of anything it passes through, resulting in a shelfload of different flavors.

OK, a shelfload of subtly different flavors. Which is why I gathered some local gastronomes to help me find the world’s tastiest water.”
