There was a recent case where a number of horror books were being sold
that had accidently been impregnated with the smell of burned flesh of
a man who immolated himself in a post office where those books were in
transit. An article in the Washington Post described the books
as having a cooked pork smell to them. Given the strong relationship
between scent and taste, we can probably conclude that there is at
least some similarity between the taste of human and pork flesh.

(Though I recall reading that the Andean rugby survivors found that
human brains tasted kind of like cheese - is there any deeper meaning
in that?)
