   "To try" means "to taste" or "to have a taste". "To test" doesn't really   
   belong here, I guess. (?)   
   For a while" isn't the same as "for all your life".   
   Anyway, that was just an example at hand.

    AK> Could the author omit "a" and say about fruit pie?   
      
   I guess he could. If they were discussing just types of food or lunch ideas   
   and not particular menu items.
