A palate-cleanser is a serving of food or drink that removes food residue from the tongue, allowing one to more accurately assess a new flavor.

Palate-cleansers are often used between tasting wines, cheeses, or other strong flavors. [1] Pickled ginger is used as a palate-cleanser between sushi pieces. [2]

Traditional French palate-cleansers include sorbet, bread, apple slices, parsley and mint. [3]

Bamia is a traditional Anatolian stew that is sometimes served as a palate-cleanser between food courses at ceremonial feasts. [4]
