However, when they served it to customers in a four-star restaurant, the reaction was very different, The customers said it tasted delicious, ‘The results shaw that in many cases the location is actually much more important than the food,” said Professor John Edwards of Bournemouth University. Edwards and his team took great care to make sure that all the meals would be as similar as possible. They used exactly the same kind of chicken, they stored the dishes in the same kind of plastic bags and served them all with the same type of rice. The meal got the highest marks in every category - taste, texture, ‘appearance - at the restaurant. Interestingly, bottom marks went ta the dish when they served it in an army training camp.
