still tasted the same!
We can use this construction with other verbs too like:
هرچی بهش گفتم زیر بار نرفت که نرفت (...didn't accept it)

It basically is a way to emphasize that a certain thing did not happen (or did not change) no matter how hard someone tried!

remain the same
When the status of something stays the same. It can also be applied to a person. It shows continuity by repeating the same word twice: "he/she/it stayed and stayed."
I would not say it is an idiom, but more likely colloquial.
I would not say it is an idiom, but more likely colloquial.
Example sentence:
the person remained and did not move / did not go away.
the stew remained and remained untatsy even though it was being cooked for a while.
