  Taste Tests

  Have you ever noticed that when you have a cold, you have less of an appetite? This is partly because we need our sense of smell to enjoy our food. With the help of a grownup, cut up a bunch of different vegetables, fruits, and cheeses with similar textures. One of you can be the taster, and the other will be the server. The server tells the taster to close his eyes and hold his nose. Then the server places a piece of food in the taster’s mouth. The taster has to guess what the food is without using his sense of sight or smell. How easy do you think it will be to guess what you’re eating?
