Being the king's food taster was probably a sweet gig, as long as you didn't get poisoned.
>>18538429What if you didn't get poisoned but then the king somehow did?
>>18538440I reckon then you'd get executed, probably painfully.
>>18538440You would have to taste the king's food again and if you got poisoned too, you'd be executed for not doing the only job you had correctly.
>>18538429How much did you get to eat though? If it's only a small morsel from each dish, you might still be hungry after tasting everything.
>>18538465Could see the taster not being poisoned because he's a big guy.
