Is it possible to say that a peach tastes messy?

Question

We are studying metaphores at school and I said that a peach tastes messy is that correct?

Answer 1

I don't know about a peach. A mango, that tastes messy, especially when overripe, all gooey and sticky.
But in creative writing you can write whatever you want. It's what a peach evokes in you that counts.
And, yes, now that I think about it, an overripe peach can taste messy too, and gooey, and sticky.
Yum! to both, messy peach and messy mango.

Answer 2

A peach does not taste messy; it is messy. I would say something like a peach is a wet dishrag. Or, a peach is a liquid ball. Those are metaphors. If you want to describe the taste, say a peach tastes sugary.

Answer 3

Anything's possible, especially if you're trying to use descriptive language. You can say the peach tastes striped, if you want. However, unless you're trying to be poetic, I wouldn't suggest describing the taste of a peach as "messy."

Answer 4

No. There is no correlation between messy and taste. You need to make a comparison to messy and "taste" is not it. You might try something like "eating a peach is a facial for southern gals!"

Answer 5

Poetically yes. If you're doing creative writing, then yes, I suppose it might be possible for something to taste messy. Be prepared to explain what it means though. For English classes no, they probably won't accept that. :)

Answer 6

No.

It is messy to eat, but as for the taste, no.

Messy is a state of disarray, which does not apply to gustatory senses.

Answer 7

i hate peaches!!

Answer 8

you can say almost anything you want to. that doesn't make it correct or even appropriate.
