I agree
Never "taste" stuff that you haven't positively identified....
While most things will tell you not to taste any more, there are plants that don't.
And... While most "poison" plants really aren't that toxic, there are enough that are....

consider aconitum.... Supposed to be so toxic they tell you to wear gloves while planting the starts!
Consider castor bean. One bean is said to be deadly!

Next time.... Wait till we've identified the plant before sampling....
