Question

why can we not taste food properly when we have a cold? ​

Answer 1

When we're sick, our noses are often blocked with mucus. Also, the tissues inside our nose can become swollen and inflamed. This prevents us from smelling properly. Because your sense of smell is so tied to your sense of taste, if you can't smell things properly, you won't be able to taste them properly, either.

Answer 2

Answer:

because during cold our taste buds don't work properly
