Question

Why does the taste of the food diffwrs when our nose is blocked?

Answer 1

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.
