From Pathfinder Wiki

2. Define the word ‘taste’.

4. Name the five taste sensations.

9. Quote five Bible texts that refer to our sense of taste.
10. Perform a blind taste test with a minimum of ten foods.
METHOD: The easiest way is to do this is with a parent, guardian or friend. Have them blindfold you before they prepare the items for tasting to make sure you have no idea what the items are. Of the foods you taste at least 2 should be from each taste sensation category. Taste each item individually. Make sure that your parent, guardian or friend takes notes based on the questions below for each food that you taste. For each item you have 3 guessing attempts.
