The canon from GOF regarding the tent reads:  "He had walked 
into what looked like an old-fashioned three-room flat, complete 
with bathroom and kitchen.  Oddly enough, it was furnished in 
exactly the same sort of style as Mrs. Figg's house.  There were 
crocheted covers on the mismatched chairs and a strong smell of 
cats.." - pg 80 English version. It was like her house but not 
really her house.

The taste of polyjuice potion is in COS pg 216 English version:  "Pinching his nose, Harry drank the potion down in two large gulps.  It tasted like overcooked cabbage."  I'm sure I 
read somewhere that it smelled like cabbage too.
