food verbs
In which scenarios would you use the following verbs differently?
taste food, sample food, test food, try food.
When I would like to taste another person's meal, I would say 'Could I sample your salmon"?
To find out flavors of food, I would use the word taste, "I tasted the banana bread and it's too sweet"
When food is part of an experiment, 'test' is appropriate: "Scientists tested the imported beef for mad cow disease"
When a dish is new to you, 'try' is preferred. 'I tried the dish but it tasted weird'
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks!
