Had a bite of (6)
I believe the answer is:
tasted
'had a bite of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tasted that I've seen before include "Sampled the flavour" , "Savoured" , "Sampled (a food/drink)" , "Tested the flavour" , "Samples" .)
