Today we were finding out about taste and our tastebuds. We challenged our tastebuds to detect the five basic tastes which are sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savoury by sampling food which fit into these groups.We discovered that tastebuds are powerful, they help us to enjoy food and explore new flavours. From the photos can you work out who might be tasting the sour lemon? I wonder who could be tasting the salty marmite ? Well done Puffins, great investigation work.
