Tasting

Tasting
Taste is the sense that lets you know the flavor of food and drink. The taste of food helps you enjoy eating and drinking. It can also tell you if something has spoiled. Food must be moist to be tasted. Your mouth makes a liquid called saliva or “laway” in tagalong, or spit. It mixes with your food as you chew. Once the food is moist it reacts with tiny bumps on your tongue called taste buds. Your taste buds work closely with your smell detectors to tell you what is in your mouth.
