'Twas not I but rather Master Vuong Manh who suggested the phrase,
"Gentle warrior, may I have the honor of tasting your prowess?"
However, I understtod him to mean "taste" in the sense that Hotspur
meant in King Henry IV, Part 1:

           [...] Come, let me taste my horse,
        Who is to bear me like a thunderbolt
        Against the bosom of the Prince of Wales

Of course I could be wrong.
