Taste a plate anew (6)
I believe the answer is:
palate
'taste' is the definition.
(palate can mean an ability to distinguish tastes)
'a plate anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'plate'='aplate'
'aplate' is an anagram of 'PALATE'.
(Other definitions for palate that I've seen before include "Liking" , "One may savour" , "Roof of the mouth, seat of taste" , "relish" , "A plate (anag.)" .)
