Hopefully more chocolaty than peanut buttery.
Peanut butter is among the top ten most disgusting foods in the universe. :yuck:

Right under Vegemite. 😉
(Actually I've never had it, but I imagine it must be disgusting. Vegemite, that is... Peanut butter I like, just not on its own. With chocolate, as Nelson suggests. 😀 )

...Like peanut butter & chocolate...
Sounds like synesthesia to me. I've always wondered if Fulton, with his discription of things sounding "brown" or "orange" or whatnot, was a synesthete. I remember people making fun of him at the time, but it might really have been the way he perceived things.

My cousin from australia came up a year or two ago, and he brought with him a container of vegemite. It has been sitting on the back of a shelf somewhere untouched since he went back home. Its definitely the kind of taste you have to grow up with to enjoy. Whats that stuff made of anyways?

I recall the phenomenon of synethesia,
but who is Fulton, in this case?

All about Vegemite here:
http://www.vegemite.com.au/

Its made out of brewer's yeast (yum!), it's
packed with B vitamins as a result.

Good and good for you, as the saying
goes.

(Google rocks! You can ask it to tell you
the history of Vegemite and it doesn't
give you a blank stare or ask you why
... it just .quietly and efficiently gets it for
you.)

Vegemite

Vegemite, of course, is a low intensity version of Marmite for wimpy colonials 😀 The Australasian version of Marmite is just as bad.

If the Aleph-X sounds like Vegemite then I may not bother... Smooth and dark brown is not enough without the cutting edge.

synesthesia? What's that? Synergistic anesthesia? Probably if you eat just enough.

synesthesia is a fusion of the senses. Things like "seeing music"
and (my favorite) "tasting words".

Example of the latter: a fellow who claimed to be able to taste
words used to date a woman by the name of Tracy. Unfortunately
the sound of her name reminded him of (get this) "flakey pastry".
Evidentally that was just too much of a gross-out for the man;
they broke up.
