because our olfactory receptors gets closed.
What we call "Flavor" is a combination of taste and smell.
There are only five taste: salty sweet, sour, bitter and savory/umami. Compared to taste, there are virtually unlimited number of scents humans can detect.
Therefore, when your nose is blocked, basically you can only "taste" the food and unable to "smell", missing the majority of your food's flavor. This is the reason why you were unable to taste anything when you had a cold.
