   I am very curious, and I doubt this can be ever answered...
   Do you have different likes and dislikes of food, music, textures because your dislike the same thing I like, or do you experience it differently? Is the pink I see the same pink everyone else (excluding color blind) sees? Does this sloppy joe taste the same to you as it does me?

     Further... What about my cat? Does he experience music similarly to how I do? That smelly cat food he loves, if I tried it, would it taste the same to me?

     You're right to the best of my knowledge that I don't know if I am seeing the color pink the same way you do. The same for tastes. But we do tend to agree on the basic nature of say labeling something pink or describing w food as salty or sweet. I have to find the test on the color blue for you. It helps decide where you start labeling a color blue and could compare with someone else's results.

     Interesting about taste is I believe that children's taste buds are different from adults. most kids don't like onion but most older adults do. It is a little more complicated than that but I don't recall details.

     As far as your cat....many poor people historically have eaten pet food because it is cheaper. I have seen canned pet food that looked and smelled like something I had bought canned. For this we would just likely have to agree that certain flavors have similar taste goals that humans are familiar with such as chicken or salmon.
