He tastes words

Synesthesia, is a most interesting neurological condition that "mixes up the senses".  People with synesthesia can have strong color sensations with certain words,  associate numbers with sounds or music with colors.  James Wannerton has an unusual form of the unusual condition, he tastes words.

Whenever I see a picture of Tony Blair I instantly get the taste of desiccated coconut.

Gordon Brown leaves me with a very strong taste of dirt and Marmite, so he shouldn't count on getting my vote.

George Bush gives me a taste similar to the crusty potato bit on top of a cottage pie.
