To me:
Try = Tratar Taste = saborear/degustar flavor = sabor/darle sabor |

Try (verb, in general) = tratar, but with regard to food or drink it may mean "probar" or it may be synonymous with "taste".
Taste (noun, generally) = gusto, but of food or drink = sabor. Taste (verb) = saborear, degustar. Flavor (noun, said of food) = sabor, flavor (verb, said of food) = darle sabor. As nouns referring to food or drink, "taste" and "flavor" are near synonyms, but it's possible that in some contexts one of these words is preferred over another. |

So taste and try are perfect synonyms when it comes to food or drink?

Quote:
"Try" is more common in contexts where one is testing something novel to see whether one has an interest in eating or drinking it at all. For example, if I know that you have never eaten strawberries before, I might invite you to "try" one. I could invite you to "taste" one, but I'm more likely to use "try" in this context. "Taste" is more common in contexts where one is evaluating the flavor in relation to some standard for the particular type of food or drink. For example, if I'm preparing a sauce, and I want your opinion on how it tastes to see whether I need to add more salt, I could ask you to "try" it, but I'm more likely to ask you to "taste" it. |
