What does "Wow!" taste like?

Ever watch the Food Network's "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern?

He eats bugs and stuff.

Raw lamb hemorrhoids.

Fish (stinky) that was buried in the ground for 300 years. (Great with a squeeze of fresh lime!)

Admittedly, he does dislike some of those bizarre concoctions. Most of the time, however, he loves any foods that none of us spoiled brats would dare touching with a pitchfork from a hovering helicopter.

How do I know this? Because he says "Wow!"

He might get a bit more descriptive and declare something along the lines of "so tender, so fresh!", or "you can really taste the ocean in this!". Can't we have more creativity here?

Maybe I'm nitpicking. I'd just hope that a chef could do better than that. Maybe not? Maybe it's really impossible to describe accurately what your taste buds experience when they get hit with a jiggling snake testicle...

Wow!
