You have obviously been sampling them all and licked off way too much emulsion! :p
 
Now I get it:

Neopan tastes a little like Suchi.

HP5+ tastes like beef vindaloo.

Tri-X is a little similar to a big mac.

Lucky tastes like spicy pork.

Agfa tastes like bratwurst.

And Efke has a similar flavour to potato vodka! :p
 
Ilford?!?! English "cuisine"? Is there such a thing? Bland....

But there's no accounting for "taste" (Get it? "Taste"? Sometimes I even impress myself with my own cleverness...)
 
Hmm ... Ilford is kind of bland. Maybe boiled cabbage or pea and ham soup! :eek:
 
When you develop Tri-X in rodinal, the developer has a wonderful grape-y flavour and colour when you pour it out.
 
Exposed, unexposed...developed, undeveloped...wet, dry...cut, uncut...rodinal, HC-110, D-76...

If I take a picture of food will it taste the same on film???

Tri-X is the living legendary film, as Leica is for cameras, with some price difference in between. None of them must be the best, de facto, but they are the legendary ones.
