A small quantity of alcohol, food or other consumable, usually requested because the
consumer of it: (a) does not want to get drunk, (b) does not know what
it tastes like and wants to try it, or (c) knows what it tastes like, doesn't like it, but doesn't want to offend the person offering it. Also known as a "
suspicion".
