( have three assistants. First gives tester food. Second holds scent to testers nose. Third records the guesses of the tester. Examples eat apples while smelling onion powder tester believes apple is an onion. Or eat skittle while smelling mint tester will believe it is a chewy peppermint. Etc just keep your mind open and test before you do the food and scent at the activity.)
