A food riddle is:
Q: What tastes better than it smells?
A: Your tongue.
The question hints at a food that tastes better than it smells (such as a durian), but the answer (tongue) is a body part that is used for tasting.

Many people eat tongue sandwiches, so “your tongue” (something you eat with, but do not eat) is more accurate than “a tongue.”
