I had this idea a few years ago to test this stuff out. Sam and I had been to a xmas meal at a local church (yes, you read that right). Of course, they did the usual thing of saying grace and blessing the food. Which got me thinking; does blessing food make any discernable difference, make it taste different for example?
So I came up with the idea of pitching a table in the street with three plates of food - pizza slices or something - one of which had been blessed and one just basic untouched pizza for a control. The third would have been cursed. Then I was going to invite passersby to sample one from each plate and write down which they thought was which and maybe why. I'd collate the results and post the footage on my YT channel.
Then I completely lost all interest. I'd forgotten about it until I saw this thread.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
