Taste Tourism.

Taste Tourism
by james bezerra


Did you know that the U.S. Mint
actually tastes like mint?
Most people never think to lick it,
because we don’t generally think of buildings
as being flavored things.

I guarantee you’ll stand with your mouth agape
when you taste the sweet grape
that flavors the Library of Congress.
After that, swing by the Air and Space Museum,
you’ll swear it’s made of a giant persimmon.

The structure which houses the Utah State Assembly
is said to taste of fresh-picked strawberry.
And just across town,
the grand Mormon Temple
is said to have a hint of sour apple.

Few know that the Statue of Liberty
is actually quite salty,
because almost no guidebook
tells of the splendid taste adventure
that is America’s architecture.
