Every First Communicant is surprised that the Eucharist has no taste. If anything, they'll liken the taste to cardboard. Well, guess what? That's exactly what it is supposed to taste like. Remember that the Liturgy of the Eucharist is re-presenting Jesus' Last Supper and Sacrifice.
Jesus' Last Supper was a Passover meal. The Passover meal was roasted lamb AND unleavened bread with bitter herbs (Exodus 12:8-11), reminding them of their hardships escaping from Pharoah.
It is what it is.
