"taste" is how you sense "flavour" (American spelling - flavor). It is like how sight/seeing is how you sense light/color. There are many flavours - salty 🧂 - sour 🍋 - sweet 🧁🍬 - spicy 🌶 - meaty 🥩🍖 - fruity 🍊🥭🍓 - chocolaty 🍫 etc. There is only 1 sense of "taste" per person. Everyone has different tastes in food. (taste can also mean preference, unrelated to food). Taste is 1 of the main senses in humans. human senses: taste 👅 smell👃 touch👐 thermoreception 🥵🥶 hearing👂 sight👁

Good question! J. Ríos' answer above is excellent. To add to that, grammatically, "taste" is usually used as a verb, like the following examples: - "This tastes great!" - "Could you taste this for me, and tell me what you think?" "Flavor," on the other hand, is more commonly used as a noun. So you could say things like: - "This ice cream tastes familiar. What flavor is it?" - "Do you taste herbs in this dish? I taste a definite herbal flavor." Also note, "flavor" is American spelling (which both Mr.. J. Ríos and I use), while "flavour" is British/Commonwealth spelling. Hope that helps answer your question.

Thank you J.Ríos

Taste has to do with if it is good/bad/bitter/sour etc, flavor has to do with the ingredients, lemon, caramel, cinnamon, raspberry, cherry, etc.
