Taste vs Flavour
1
An apple has a flavour, but can an apple have a taste?
To my ear, it sounds wrong. I feel intuitively that I create the sense of 'taste' and that it is not something possessed by the apple. In other words taste is not a property of the apple. However, in contrast 'flavour' is a property of the apple and therefore an apple can 'have' a flavour.
