What treats will you be tasting this season?

What background music will you be playing? It will depend upon your personal tastes.

How about your taste in fashion?

There are 34 references to the word, "taste" in the New International Version of the Bible.

While several boos used it three times, the most frequent user was the author of Job. Job uses the word four times:

Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
Job 6:6

Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? - Job 12:11

"As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made me taste bitterness of soul - Job 27:2For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food." - Job 34:2-4  from the book that is most about sorting out who and where God is in our experience of pain, speaks the most about this sense that can detect sweetness or bitterness.

Nothing really counts ultimately as a conclusion in Job until near the end of the book (and beginning of his new journey) when he discovers, experientially, what the psalmist proclaimed:

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - Psalm 34:8

After that, all of Job's tastes changed.
