"From a purely chemical standpoint, (plutonium) is about as poisonous as lead and other heavy metals. Not surprisingly, it has a metallic taste."

Given that lead acetate is sweet, would plutonium acetate do the same?

anyone wants to help me set up a charity where we give "last meals" to terminal patients using toxic ingredients just for them to describe how they taste?

The best way to tell precisely how spicy your rock is, is to taste it. That's just basic science, if you ask me.
