gustatory \GUSS-tuh-tor-ee\ - relating to or associated with eating or the sense of taste
Hmm. I guess I've always associate this more generally with eating, not specifically with taste. Now that I think about it, I've probably applied the contexts in which I have seen it have this word a little too broadly.
degustation \'dee-'guss-TAY-shun\ - the action or an instance of tasting especially in a series of small portions
A completely unfamiliar (to me) word despite its close relationship to today's more familiar WOTD. Now knowing gustatory's meaning more accurately, I'd have probably guessed fairly close to this one's meaning, but would have definitely missed its "small portions" aspect.
