What does Grape flavor taste like?

[Jon]

Pistachio ice cream and pudding taste like some completely made up flavor. Certainly not like actual pistachio nuts.

The thing about those violet candies is that they actually use violet in their creation of flavor... as opposed to some sort of chemical combination that somehow is supposed to duplicate it.

I was munching on an Ambrosia apple the other day and thought it had a "banana-y" flavor to it.

Thread's making me want to drink some red-flavored Kool-Aid!

I love the Violet mints! They do nothing for your breath but I like the aroma.

While we are on the subject, when you get a Jelly Donut, what flavor is that Jelly?

[tazber]

Petroleum.

That smell that wafted across New York City awhile back smelled like butterscotch to me, but everyone else said maple syrup.

I just did a random search in google images for "grape taste" just to see what (if anything) would come up.

Apparently it taste like:
Surprise!

"when you get a Jelly Donut, what flavor is that Jelly?"

Ich bin ein Berliner

[Jane2]

"Petroleum."

LOL Taz!

[JoeKv99]

I think this is a circumcision gone wrong. It would certainly leave a grape taste in my mouth.

Anybody eat those Natural Confectionary Company gummy snake things...all natural apparently, yet they taste just the same as regular ones.

Some Chinese restaurants serve Beef with Orange Flavor. All it takes like to me is beef with ground up orange peels.

[JbaraFan1]

Joe!!!! Ewwww! lol

Whatever grape flavor really tastes like, it's my favorite popsicle flavor.

[Calvin]

Dragonfruit tastes nothing like dragons.

[JbaraFan1]

And cocktails taste nothing like...
Nevermind!

Kad,

Yes, those cherry cough syrups were awful.

But the artificial cherry flavors seem to vary from product to product. The cherry flavor differs in Life Savers, Chuckles, and Dots. Cherry is my favorite flavor in each.


And this is way before your time, but in the long, long ago there was a cough drop called Pine Brothers which was a hard gel and delicious. It was more like candy than anything medicinal. I wonder if it actually helped one's cough.


Re, jelly donuts jelly.

I've wondered myself about that flavor. I think it's in the raspberry family. A distant cousin, perhaps.

Re, peach-flavored gels.

I like them, but peach seems to be a very difficult flavor to replicate. Even ice-cream has a hard time getting it right.

[Jon]

Some donut shops have seperate raspberry and strawbery filled donuts. The generic "jelly donuts" seemed to be a mixed feruit flavor: grape/cherry/strawbwerry combination.

[JoeKv99]

Chicago is in the midst of a Doughnut Renaissance...or something. All I know is every storefront I thought was too small to be anything but a Fotomat is now slinging $3 (or more) doughnuts. The new vogue is for home-made jelly in the jelly doughnuts.

[Kad]

The only cherry-flavored thing I can ever recall enjoying are Luden's cough drops.

How about maraschino cherries? Their taste bears no resemblance to a cherry, but they taste good, and they certainly look good in a cocktail or on an ice-cream sundae. (Anyone notice how often they fail to put a cherry on sundaes nowadays?)

Then there are glacéd cherries. These too bear no resemblance in taste to an actual cherry. They're kind of sticky, but they look great on a cookie.

That maple-y odor that was wafting over New Jersey was fenugreek, a spice used in Indian cooking.

[Mister Matt]

The cherry Jolly Ranchers actually taste closest to the natural cherry products I sampled daily in Door County, Wisconsin. One trip to Door County made me a huge cherry fan.
