Flavor is distinctly a phenomenal property and a type of qualia.
It is metaphysically impossible for distinctly physical properties to differ between two objects which are physically identical. We can’t properly conceive of a cookie that is physically identical to an Oreo yet contains different chemicals, is more massive or possessive of locomotive powers. Somewhere in our mental model of such an item, there is a contradiction.
