I seem to remember that a skit in Woody Allen’s “What You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask” had Buck Henry conducting a class in sexuality. An earnest looking young lady asked that very question, and Henry, after pondering a moment, replied to the effect that it was about the same as a slice of rye bread. The comic effect of course was that it was done totally deadpan. ---

With regard to the person who challenged Cecil’s answer to the original question, that person, in their challenge, made a statement that was both telling about themselves and wrong in general: “We all know it doesn’t taste like egg whites”.
