With which part of their bodies do flies taste their food?

Flies taste with their feet. As they walk over food, they taste it to determine if it is worth eating.

Another interesting fact about flies' feet: Each foot not only has a pair of claws to help them hold onto, they halso have hairy pads under each claw which release a glue-like substance so they can walk on smooth surfaces without falling off.
