It's not necessary to take a bite of ھٹی, ترش food, یا even get it all the way into your mouth, to react to it physically. It is such a sharp flavor that just touching something ھٹی, ترش to the tip of the tongue can be enough to set off the visible reaction. The response is akin to a whole face squint -- the brow furrows, eyes narrow یا squeeze shut, the nose crinkles and, most noticeably, the lips pucker into a round, tight little mass.
