The only way to describe how a Trolls senses work is to experience
the "sensory confusion" side effect of some drugs. Trolls have
heightned/enhanced senses that we humans don't have thus to a troll
certain foodstuffs have a particular feel as well as taste and some
smells have a particular aura as well as smell...
