if you live in middlesbrough, water tastes like lead (seriously lol). but water, im sure has a taste but no-one can put there finger on it. It's like the old age proverb:
If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
basically, if water tastes like water, and there's nothing else to compare it to, does it have a taste?
im confusing myself now so im going to bed

of course it has a taste
its like if someone made a new genre of a movie. its not comedy, not romance, not horror, not anything ... would it still be a movie?
just because it doesnt taste like anything else it doesnt mean it has no taste.
its like air. we cant see it, nor can we taste it, but its still a thing

I see both sides of the argument, however I feel you are being a little too literal in judging Samurai Guy's rebuttle.
As he said, there are many different adjectives that can be used to describe a taste. However, I see little to any that can describe the taste of water. It is neither salty (unless it is salt water), sweet, bitter nor sour.
im suprised that no one has brought up the fact that we are made entirely of water. its part of what we are, so why would it have a taste? plus, water is always in your mouth. you are tasting water 24/7/365 because of your saliva. its just part of what makes your mouth...work.
so imho, to ask 'what does water taste like' is like asking 'what does your tounge taste like' or 'what does the roof of your mouth taste like'...well....it tastes like nothing

Oh yeah, I am so sticking to my original idea that water has a taste, but because its taste is unique it has nothing we can actually compare it to, so we cannot give it an adjective description. That does not mean it has no taste, just that it doesn't taste like anything else......yet. Who in the world has tasted every single thing possible?
I don't know... water has a taste, but nothing else really tastes like water. And I have to agree with the idea that we define taste by comparison, at least partially. It's not spicy, or sweet, or sour, and it doesn't taste like chicken... So no, it doesn't really have a taste.
It is strange becaues I am not sure what it taste like.It is hard to think of it.I guess it does not taste like anytlhing.
Which maybe why I don't like drinking it.If I had to choice between milk and water I would choose milk!Sorry I don't know the answear to that question.JM
