I wanted to say the metallic taste of a stroke but I'll play nice. 
My Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum tastes like Glenfiddich 12 year old. Nothing
special about it but one of my favorites.
My Ruger P95 tastes like MGD, not the prettiest but gets the job done. It
was the first gun I bought and the first beer I had.
BFR .45-70.... Meat-n-taters with some cayenne pepper.
Sadly I wanna say my Beretta CX4 Storm looks like it might taste a bit like
a Zima... never had one but it looks like it.

only a couple of mine posess any flavor...
my High Standard Double-Nine .22, and my old single shot Springfield Bolt-Cocker .22 rifle both taste like chicken... not just any chicken, but the stuff from our hometown chicken joint, called Alley's Pickin' Chicken, (now outta business)... it was the best fried chicken EVER... used to take it to the range every sunday, and eat it for lunch, while shooting these guns... (boy does that bring back memories)
Savage 110E 30-06... tastes like the deer and elk venison it has faithfully provided me all these years...
Ruger MK1 .22, my first handgun - tastes like aged cheddar cheese... dunno why, just does...
that is about it... the rest are pretty bland, and I suspect taste like the verboten Hoppes...

Cosmoline. Both of my rifles (an M48 and an M48A) still have cosmo in the works (just the wood, the metal parts are cleaned and stuff).

10-22 Potato chips, can't shoot it just once
1100 Fresh venison tenderloin
Savage 24 O/U rifle/shotgun, Green vegetables, you HAVE to eat them
Winchester 1873 Butter Pecan ice cream, maybe with a rich butterscotch topping
Kimber 1911 Pancakes and bacon

My 77/22 tastes like my Dad's bacon sandwiches.
My AR tastes like a sno-cone, cold, but tasty, it's perfect in the right circumstance, but not all circumstances.
My Colt Defender tasted like a generic Power Bar, something that doesn't taste great, but it gets you through the day.
My S&W 329 tastes like a nice thick prime rib done medium rare... heavy, not something you want to taste every single day, but man is it satisfying when you do taste it.

Ok. At first I though this was about as dumb a question as I had ever heard, but then I read a few replies and started to "get it."
I've only got one I guess. My old Sears-Roebuck/ Mossburg 12 ga pump gun that I used for deer hunting for years. It tastes like Navy Bean soup.
As someone else said "Not just any" Navy Bean soup, but "Percy's Navy Bean Soup." Percy was an old fellow in my old hunt club, who every year, on New Years day, would cook up a big pot of Beans in a black iron cauldron, over an open fire. Plenty of salt and pepper, and ham, and stirred all moring with a canoe paddle and cooked down until you could eat it with a fork. A couple of the wives would bring pan baked corn bread down about lunch time. Best meal you ever ate after the morning drive.

My ruger M-77 has a bitterseet taste, for two reasons. It was given to my on the occaision of my wife's grandfather's death - not the way I like to obtain a fine firearm. And the other reason for the taste is the sense of conservation - not pulling the trigger on that doe with two fawns, cause you know if she's gone, so are they - and that might make for harder hunting next year. Only one I saw that year with busy schedules and all.
Now, my Kimber 1911 tastes like a baloney sandwich lately - onle wolfed down between drills at the range - trying to get taught osme IDPA skills.
I'm not sure about the others - this will have to be studied on.

Cheers!
No thought required..very obvious: S&W .357 Model 65-3= shot of Wild Turkey (double!)...KAHR P9=2 fingers of The Famous Grouse (a great blend of style and craftsmanship!)

Heck, why not?
My 12 ga S&W pump that my father gave me tastes like the BBQ ribs he and my uncle make on July 4th. Good flavor but not something you want every day and they can get really messy, too.
My CZs taste like the lunch specials at a specific chinese restaurant in my hometown. Cheap, doesn't look like much at first, but there's food enough for two meals heaped in there and it tastes great to boot!
My 22/45 tastes like a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Who doesn't want ice cream?
My Mosins taste like pot roast. Not my favorite dish by any means but it gets the job done and done well.
My K31 tastes like my first bite of a chicken parmesan platter at a nice Italian place I took a date to. Wasn't too sure about it, but dang it, it was the only thing I could reasonably see paying their prices for. So I tried it anyway and now I can't get enough!

My Garand (1942) and my M1 Carbine (1944) taste like, what else?
Cold C Rations eaten in a foxhole somewhere in Europe.

[Ralph Wiggum] It tastes like burning..!! [/Ralph Wiggum]
My K31 tastes like expensive chocolate.
My 1911 tastes like a thick ribeye (medium).
My Mossy tastes like quail. A big heap of shot-that-morning quail covered in grandad's secret quail seasoning. He wrote down the recipe, and says I can have it when he dies. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be an incentive or not because I REALLY like quail.
And my trusty old .22 tastes like dirt, cedar needles, and rabbit fur. The dog always seemed to get to the rabbit before I did, and I never could bring myself to take food out of her mouth.

...I have been tempted for years to make a dark-chocolate casting of one of my Star semi-autos, and take it out at the range and take a big bite out of the ejection port, look around at everyone and mutter, "Spanish gun. Soft steel!"
But better to not do so. Might give the wrong impression.

Remington 870 - Wild Turkey
Remington Nylon 66 - Believe it or not, it has a smokey, hickory flavor to it with just a hint of molasses. Remington did a much better job with immitating the flavor of a real wood stocked rifle than they did with the faux wood grain nylon. I know. Hard to believe but you've really got to try it.
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN TASTE A BLUED DAN WESSON!

My Maverick 88 Field is strongly remniscient of the Six-dollar combo at Cinco De Mayo in Christiansburg: Three burritos and a side of queso con carne. Cheap and delicious.
My Ruger Mini-14: Eggs Benedict. Delicious, but with a foul connotation on its name.
My M48: Sausage. Freakin' sausage, and lots of it. I dunno why, but it just makes sense. Suwanee Pack Mild with surplus ammo, IHOP stuff with new manufactured greek stuff.
"My" Springfield Armory 1911: Ah, the one-scoop vanilla ice cream cone. The original is always best.

Tastes Like
My glock17 tastes like jerky, the kind that comes from the store not what I make, It's always the same. Not as filling as MacDonalds' but as consistent.
My Mk77 tastes like Bob's hunting soup, Campbells' beef and tomato mixed together. Only had it while hunting and with the rifle and now that Bob's gone only me and the rifle know the taste. The Wetherby MKV in .300 Wby Mag is as yet unfired and I think it tastes like Joseph Phelps Insignia 1999 but I'll have to get back to you on that. I'l ponder on the others and post later. Great Thread starter!

Browning BPS 12 gauge: Sapporo (beer, but Japanese and better)
Smith and Wesson 629 Mountain Gun, .44mag: Wild Turkey 101 (you Wild Turkey guys got it wrong, it's all about the power vs. volume ratio)
