We have an interesting variant in Sweden. It's not quite
as poetic as the other ones I've seen here. :-P

"Smaken är som baken, delad."

smaken    är som baken      delad
taste:DEF is as  behind:DEF divided
'Taste is like your behind, divided.'

Well, it doesn't sound as good in English, but you
know what I mean. Usually we just say -- as in French
-- the first part: "Smaken är som baken".
