Overview. 1  Cleansing the palate, or clearing the taste buds of one taste to prepare them for a new one, is commonly discussed in wine tastings. However, you might find cleansing your palate useful in any setting where you're eating foods with competing tastes, such as a chocolate, beer or cheese tasting, sushi dinner or a typical multicourse meal.
As the roof of the mouth was once considered the seat of the sense of taste, palate can also refer to this sense itself, as in the phrase a discriminating palate. By further extension, the flavor of a food (particularly beer or wine) may be called its palate, as when a wine is said to have an oaky palate. See also
