En España, si tienes mal sabor en la boca, un sabor amargo, este es un problema de salud. En Inglaterra puede ser otra cosa.

In Spain, if you have a bad taste in the mouth, a sour taste, it is a medical problem. In England, it might be something else, entirely..

El buen gusto es una cuestión de trasfondo cultural de uno.

El buen sabor de uno hombre es otra vergüenza del hombre.

Good taste is a matter of one's cultural background.

One man's good taste is another mans embarrassment.
