This is "show dont tell" in its finest form, I think. Describe a taste. Say, we start with Chocolate. Describe chocolate to a person with no taste. Sounds hard, doesnt it? Try it. Describe your taste then post another for the next poster.

melting
molten in the mouth
sweet
sometimes bitter
dark lumps of sensuous pleasure
