I honestly believe we don't all see exactly the same colours. Now I'm starting to think perhaps we don't taste the same either. Ginger is fine, curry is too, but salmiakki is a chemical substance that should never pass human lips. It tastes like something that might get on the fingers and be transferred to the mouth by a very careless chemistry student. Strong mints are okay. Fisherman's friend is fine but that stuff is fit for nothing except perhaps as an ingredient for cleaning things before electroplating, or for explosives.
