I already mentioned wasabi/horseradish is an accordion honk

Olives are an off key bass note with a bit of a squelch added in

Burnt food is almost like static

(these are all approximations)
Interesting—but what about non-food gross things? For example, dirt, soap, blood, vomit, etc

I fear this might be the equivalent of asking you to taste something really disgusting, but would you be willing to listen to this and tell me what you think of it? If you can stomach it you should definitely listen until the end. I enjoy that piece and others like it but I can definitely understand other people not liking it.
this is pretty cool! thanks

I don't make a habit out of eating gross things but out of that list:

Blood and other metallic tastes are a sizzle

Dirt is almost a thrum, the kind that churns your stomach

Vomit is a mix of stuff but the most prominent is bile, which is like a screech that that fades into a whine
interesting.. thanks. I'm not a synaesthete but a lot of these make a weird sort of sense. Have you met other people with the same type of synaesthesia and compared sound/taste correlations with them? I'm curious if they would line up.
