* In the comic ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'', there is a scene in which an FBI agent is offered more coffee by a local sheriff. He refuses, stating that it tastes like someone came in it. The sheriff makes a sarcastic remark about how he couldn't control himself, rather than wondering how the agent recognizes the taste.
** Also seen when Jesse laments his lack of gravy with a meal:
{{quote| '''Cassidy''': "That stuff they make from bacon grease? It tastes like fucking semen!"<br />
*pause* <br />
'''Cassidy''': "[[Or So
*** The [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] (or [[Reverse Funny Aneurysm]]) occurs in a later issue. {{spoiler|Cassidy DOES know what it tastes like, as he blew a guy regularly for heroin at one of the lowest points of his (un)life}}.
* [[She Hulk|She-Hulk]] has offered Valkrie a light beer. Val's reaction after a swig? "It tastes like my horse crawled into my mouth and died." It doesn't stop her from asking for "more of this swill" later, though.
Line 174:
* Rob Schneider once appeared on a talkshow in Singapore, during a regional tour to promote ''[[Deuce Bigalow]]'' - he was treated to several regional fruits, including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian durian] which he described as tasting like "men's locker room".
* An episode of ''[[Better Off Ted]]'' had a professional food tester try out some lab-grown meat. He decides it tastes like "Despair".
* Dr. [[House (TV)|House]] rules out the possibility that a patient had accidentally eaten large quantities of horse chestnuts by pointing out that they "taste like a horse's lower-than-chest nuts." [[Rule of Funny|How he knows]] [[Foreign Queasine|what that tastes like]] [[But You Screw One Goat!|is not specified.]]
** While possibly being hyperbolic in the above example, House in one episode determined a patient was diabetic by Squick tasting her urine and declaring that it tasted sweeter than normal urine.
* Hyde talking to Kelso in ''[[That Seventies Show]]'':
Line 188:
* Subverted in ''[[Leverage]]''. Parker walks up to a guard and asks, "does this smell like chloroform to you?" before knocking him out with it.
* Gordon Ramsey can get a bit colorful when describing one of his chef's badly cooked dishes on [[Hells Kitchen]]. He at one point describes a soup as tasting like gnat's piss, and also describes an undercooked meat as being "like a bison's penis."
* Averted in '''[[Lost Girl]]''. Foot soup actually tastes pretty good. So good in fact, Kenzi didn't know it was foot soup until she was told. [[I Ate What?|She didn't take it well]].
* Happens with Gabe's homemade health tonic in ''[[Life With Boys]]''. In a [[Strange Minds Think Alike]] moment, everybody who tastes it likens its taste to some kind of mythological creature in a bathing facility of some kind; e.g. "a gnome's steam bath" or "a hairy troll's hot tub".
* In ''[[Party Down]]'', Steve Guttenburg tries to teach some of the caterers how to be cultured by giving them fine wine. They give a variety of responses as to what they taste, including "rope" and "dirt." Guttenburg compliments them.
Line 349:
* [[Ian Fleming]] was infamous for having taste in food so atrocious you wonder how he managed to make [[James Bond]] a connoisseur of such gourmet meals. One of his friends is quoted admitting to repeatedly telling him, "Ian, it tastes like armpits!"
* The Jones Soda Company sells a soda called simply Pink. The taste was somehow perfectly evocative of its namesake color.
** There's also flavors such as Perspiration, Fun, Happy, Dirt, Natural Field Turf, Sweet Victory, Sports Cream, Bug Juice, [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|Dave]]...
*** Leading to the inevitable parody [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/jones-soda-flavors.php here.]
*** Jones Soda made limited edition ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' flavors too. I can't help but wonder what an Illithid Brain Blast tastes like.
