Tasted perhaps and expressed an opinion (6)
I believe the answer is:
stated
'expressed an opinion' is the definition.
'stated' can be an answer for 'expressed' (stating is a kind of expressing). I'm unsure of the 'an opinion' bit.
'tasted perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tasted' is an anagram of 'STATED'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stated that I've seen before include "Specified" , "Put in words, said" , "Asserted, affirmed" , "Declared or asserted" , "Expressed, detailed" .)
