Chard tastes pretty much like spinach. Or cabbage. Or purple-sprouting

No it doesn't. It taste of andives or perhaps cooked salad or ... pak
choy or chinese leaves. Cabbage's far too strong a comparison.

It tastes nothing like chicken, La Puce!

Everything taste like chicken - crocodile, snake ... see?! When I was
a kid we used to eat chicken on special occasion or on sunday when it
was a special sunday. Now there's chicken everywhere and none of them
taste like the chicken of my childhood. I get my kids excited when I
tell them we're going to eat roasted sweet potatoes or pea soup or
even row broad beans with butter and salt, a bowl of raddishes and
french bread. But they're not excited about chicken. I used to go
totally crazy knowing we'd eat it! Chicken has disappeared as being
the grand dish of the week.

When I was young chicken was only available to the wealthy. I bow to your
greater experience of what it tastes like these days, the only time we eat
it is if we cull a cockerel and then it really is special as well as
delicious. Why not eat game instead?

I don't know of anything else which tastes like real chicken :-)
