No it doesn't, but the consistency certainly can.

It has a unique flavor which i find delicious. It's not for everyone
though. My wife doesn't really dig it but will eat it when I serve it.
Our dinner guests in the past have enjoyed it.

I do find that it is really wet when mashed, and then return it to the
heat to dry it out a bit. I have another thread discussing it. this one
was created by mistake.
