Try every other piece from Strauss then? (5)
I believe the answer is:
taste
'try' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Delicate discrimination" , "Impression from food" , "Savour in state" , "Dash" , "Sensation in the mouth caused by food" .)
