Spit and Polish: Imagery

Authors rarely use the sense of taste in descriptions because we have such limited taste experience. Our tongues can only taste a limited range (sour, sweet, salty, bitter).

Describe the taste of a favorite food.

Now, think of something that you would not normally eat (and it doesn't have to be food). Describe the taste. (use your imagination, not your tongue)
