I'm currently enrolled in a Philosophy of art class, and today my professor asked a question that I am unable to get out of my mind. I have yet been able to come up with an answer.
The question: Say you had to describe a piece of food... pineapple, burrito, beer... basically anything with a taste. Could you successfully describe the taste of food without comparing it to another food or taste?
You could say "sour", "sweet", "spicy', but these wouldn't effectively tell me what a pineapple tasted like. I should be able to almost be able to taste the food without actually eating it... but I can't come up with anything. So, yes. This is what I'm writing about on my Friday night. Lame, but perfectly valid.
