I don't think I could even describe the taste sensations of a banana, or a Big Mac, or Lo Mein, so to provide indicative examples of what something as formless yet varying as water is a task indeed.
"Taste" is very hard for my mind to quantify properly because it usally involves comparing newer foods to the most familar of those you have already sampled, like "This tastes like chicken, only more sinewy". Also, it relies very heavily on texture as opposed to what percolating flavors are being experienced. Also, it is not helpful at all when friends tell me that a new snackfood at 7-11 "tastes very blue and sweet".
