Question

food tastes different when we eat it with our nose blocked.why is this so?

Answer 1

Because of your olfactory bulb being blocked. This is the series of nerve endings in your nose, that not only allows you to smell, but to taste at the same time. If your nose is clogged, and swollen with mucus, you have a tough time smelling things, and in turn tasting things.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{ANSWER:}$

$<b>We taste with our sense of smell as much as we do our tongue. Our tongue and taste buds really only recognize sweet, salty, sour, and more broad flavor components, while our sense of smell is what tells our brain what we're tasting and eating. This is why you nose a glass of wine or scotch, this is why we take a whiff of food before we eat it, why our mouth tastes sour just from smelling sour candies. When kids don't want to taste nasty cough syrup, that's why they clamp their nose. When people ask the age-old hypothetical of which sense they'd be willing to give up, some people say smell not realizing they'd really be giving up taste too.$
