Whatever you do, do not put Mercury in your mouth. If you choose to ignore that, at least don't swallow it. Or touch it with bare hands. It is a toxic heavy metal that can cause neurological damage.
As an amalgam with silver in dental fillings, it has the same taste as zinc or copper: flat, metallic, or bitter. Mercury isn't terribly reactive, and in order to taste things they need to react in some way with your taste buds.
Zinc is above it on the Periodic Table and elements tend to behave in the same fashion when that's the case. (Cadmium is also above it, but you shouldn't taste that either -- its toxic just like Mercury.)
