Duck tastes like perfume

Crayfish tastes like the smell of urine

Beef Hula Hoops taste like the smell of children's scalps when wet

Anyone else got any strange things that taste like other things? I think coriander tasting like soap to some people is a common one.

I remember the Hersheys/Parmesan/old butter tasting like sick was discussed on QI and it being because of butryic acid which is also in vomit. I think I recall with American chocolate it had something to do with the fact that the milk for chocolate was transported great distances and so needed to be prevented from spoiling by adding butryic acid to it. Now it doesn't need it but is added as it's the 'taste' consumers are used to.

I'll stick to Dairy Milk! Although it's not as good as it was...

Interesting!

Ooh I very nearly started a thread like this last week! Because I opened a new jar of honey (buckwheat blossom) and it smells and tastes like the smell of wet dog.

Coconut water tastes like the smell of sweat with a tropical twist. So disappointing.

Mushrooms taste like soil.

Does anyone else find that those cold meal deals pastas make their mouth feel like it’s burning? Or is it just me?

Birds Eye fishfingers taste of grease. I don't think they've even seen a fish.
