(Strtegic Partnership Services)

"Taste" is the sense that lets you identify the flavors of food -- sweet or savory, salty, sweet, bitter etc.

A "taste" often means a small portion.

The annual Taste of Syracuse in and around Clinton Square offers both: You can taste anything you want from more than 70 vendors, and you can try a "taste" -- in the small bites sense -- of at least one item at each booth.

You can even make a whole meal -- or probably several whole meals -- from the $1 tastes.

This year's Taste of Syracuse is 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Here's a look at the $1 samples offered by this year's vendors:
