What do London Underground stops taste like?

Man who can 'taste' words creates flavour map of the Tube after visiting
every stop during 49-year project.

The London Underground map has inspired a range of spin-offs over the
years, with everything from musical icons to popular restaurants plotted
along its interweaving lines.

But now a 54-year-old systems analyst from Blackpool has created the most
bizarre version to date – a map that shows what each station tastes like.

James Wannerton tastes words when he reads or hears them thanks to a
neurological condition called synaesthesia that links senses which are
normally experienced separately.

He first noticed each Underground station created a distinct taste aged
four when travelling to school with his mother from the family home near
Willesden, north London.

Since then Mr Wannerton has continued to keep notes and make special trips
to London after leaving the city to complete his "taste map" of the Tube.
The 49-year project was finally completed earlier this year.

Why did he have to visit the stations? Wouldn't merely saying them or
thinking them work?
