I just realised that I cannot describe the taste of water. Can you? Why not?

Generally to 'measure' something you also need a blank and a control as a reference. Water is normally a 'blank' so it's difficult to describe it.

Can you describe the taste of anything?

It's the same as tyring to explain red to a blind person.

[Lawnmowerman]

Red is hot and blue is cold

That's easier

It's (relatively) easy to explain how the colour red is seen (in terms of wavelength)

Taste/Smell are tricker to quantify in the same way.

Water is bland when compared to other drinks.

But for some person living on Mars, orange juice could be the norm and be described as bland when compared to water.

[Ash-Kennard]

humans cannot taste water, just the impurities in it. But dogs, cats, rabbit etc can.

[Janson]

our water is excellent, no taste of anything here. no problems with limescale and stuff, unlike Tic's tap water.

I can taste when it has been filtered, come staight out of the tap, or been sitting in a cup for days. But it doesn't taste of anything.

But surely water is the root of most/every drink?

And you could say bland, refreshing, moist as some one stated but how can you describle bland, refreshing and moist you could go on for ever?

lol, they were only jokey disciptions really. because that was all that sprung to mind

Just like your Mum. Bur hur hur.

Anyway, yeah, it's the same as asking how to describe anything. The only way you can describe it is to use references to it, but with something like...erm...turkey, you could go "Hmm, sorta tastes like chicken", but with water, it's pretty unique.

Evian for the win 'n' all that though. Tasty tasty.

What makes it tasty though, Mark?

I agree though, I too am an Evian fag, but still couldn't ever describe the taste

[Janson]

evian tastes like imsdal that's been sitting around for a few weeks in the sun. not a fave.

and yes tic, i remember being warned.. mike's wasn't too bad actually.

[ScotchDave]

Well, the water that comes out my tap tastes like the water you can but in the bottles that say "highland spring water" on them.
