What would you give to make all your veggies taste like chocolate? Would you give $60 to a Canadian molecular gastronomy company called Molecule-R? Because that's how much it's asking for the new "Aromafork."

Molecular gastronomy is a subset of modern cuisine that borrows many of its innovations from the scientific community, but you don't need to be a scientist to know the tongue is only responsible for a portion of overall taste. It's your nose that fills in most of the subtleties of a given flavor, and that's how the Aromafork works.

Each Aromafork—you get four of them—has a notch near the prongs to hold a small, circular diffusing paper. Onto the diffuser you'll drop one of the 21 included aromas, like coffee, basil, peanut, ginger, smoke, and—yes—chocolate.

Of course the Aromafork isn't intended solely to mask the flavor of yucky vegetables, but rather to extend the possibilities for creative food pairings. Molecule-R's website suggests seared tuna with the aroma of truffle, or strawberries with a hint of mint, or eggs with a whiff of cilantro. The only limit is your creativity.

Even if you don't plan on going molecular at every meal, the Aromafork could certainly make for a few memorable dinner parties. For more information, check out Molecule-R.com.
