No, I don't want to taste it (I'm not trying to kill anyone, either.) I actually asked the question because I'm writing a story and I'm using arsenic as a...I guess you can say a plot device...(It's important to the story. ^.^)

The Merck Index doesn't say if it has a taste, but does mention that burning arsenic smells like garlic!

It is taste less and odorless. Some times it can be found in the water supplies. I like to sprinkle some in my food. I'm immune to it. Joking. It is poisonous

Most arsenic compounds have no smell or special taste.

Yes, it is both tasteless and odorless. For this reason it is a choice poison for people that don't necessarily want their victims to know they are being poisoned.

No. That is why it is mixed in alcoholic drinks, coffee, etc. Something strong to hide the taste.
