I love zabiglione, even though it gave me major carpal tunnel syndrome from all the whipping I used to have to do every day to make it. I haven’t made it in years and my arm is doing much better so I should be able to make it again! Such a delicious treat, great article.

Here’s a wild theory: maybe there is something missing or something extra in the saliva of people who dislike it, maybe it is just a chemical reaction, which maybe changes with whatever is in the saliva-it could even be a bacteria, perhaps, but the memory of that terrible taste stays with a person so they don’t want to try it again. Maybe it is even certain body types that react this way?
