I've never seen "foretaste" before. I've seen foreshadowing and "give us a taste" but this is a new one. Philip, are you familiar with it?

Now that you mention it, I think the only place I've come across it is in the Anglican rite, where the Eucharist is described as a foretatste of things to come in the afterlife.
