You must make a contribution to the next edition of Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany, which is a popular book about, well, food and drink. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0747566542/026-7267103-3186036 I can't remember the details, but there is one section which tells you what things other things taste like, e.g. wichety grubs taste like almonds, cyanide tastes like almonds, almonds taste like something else, which in turn tastes like grasshoppers, etc. I've only glanced at it really, but I got the impression that if you resolve all the crossing lines and exclude the middle, everything tastes like chicken. -- Cheers, Bob
