SIMSBURY, CT — Gourmet grub and grog are often subject to stuffy tasting events where folks sample or sip various varieties of vittles and libations to rate them.

Often, such endeavors test the taste buds' reactions to wine, spirits, and other edibles such as chocolate.

Well the Simsbury Public Library Monday, March 18, is hosting a program that features a similar approach to test the taste buds of teens, albeit with a much less sophisticated subject: Peeps.
