HI, I havent tried the actually miracle berry but I have tried the pill which is made of freeze dried extract of miracle berry. I am in USA where it is actually illegal in pills form but legal as a fruit, as its classed as a food additive in usa, and has not yet been approved by the FDA, but I bought the pills over the internet on ebay.co.uk because its legal in UK. You put the pill on your tongue and let it melt and cover as many taste buds as you can then you can start to experiment with foods. Bitter, sour and acidic foods work best , most of them taste really sweet, tomatoes are absolutely delicious that we coundt stop eating them, I never got round to the guiness tasting like chocolate milk shake though, but lemons are delicious and vinegar tastes like syrup. more info here at squidoo miracle berry
