Upon watching a current episode of Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt, he made the comment while eating fried chicken (acclaimed by him to the best ever), "Tastes Like Chicken". Obviously.
But that expression is often used when referring to something that taste other than what you would expect it to taste like; basically other than itself.
Mushrooms are certainly very "meaty".. almost beef-like, which explains why they're a great accompaniment and flavor enhancer for burgers and steaks.
They say Ostrich taste like a lean beef steak, and frog legs and alligator tastes like chicken. Does it really? Never tried those things.
Smoked Marlin can almost taste like beef jerky, depending who made it. God, how I love smoked Marlin!
What food items have you tried that reminded you of something other than what it is?
