A Newcastle barman with a rare condition who can taste, smell and feel words has revealed that, to him, Christmas tastes like 'crisps dipped in plain yogurt'.
Henry Gray, 23, was diagnosed with lexical-gustatory synaesthesia in 2009 - meaning he can taste, smell or have a feeling associated with words.
Synaesthesia is a neurological condition that results in the joining or merging of senses that aren't normally connected - those affected can often taste or smell when hearing, speaking, reading or thinking about words.
