So often here in Texas when someone tastes something or remarks about eating only a bite or so of food they just tried, they say something like "I tasted of it and it was.......". We so often add the word "of" after the word tasted instead of just saying "I tasted it and it was.....". Don't know if we're unconsciously mimicking King James' grammar or what and you hear it less and less as time goes on, but the older Texan you speak with about trying out a small portion of food, the more likely he/she is to say something about "tasting of...." it.
