You may not be able to taste food if you cannot ____ it
A
smell
B
hear
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your sense of smell is closely related to your sense of taste. When you can’t smell, food may taste bland. You may even lose interest in eating.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many people who lose their sense of smell also complain that they lose their sense of taste. Most can still tell between salty, sweet, sour, and bitter tastes, which are sensed on the tongue. They may not be able to tell between other flavors. Some spices (such as pepper) may affect the nerves of the face.

Detailed explanation-3: -We know that the sense of smell helps in getting the complete taste of food. In case of a common cold, our nose is blocked, which blocks the sense of smell. That is why we are unable to taste food properly in case of a cold.

Detailed explanation-4: -People may also sense an odor through their mouths, new research shows. Scents sensed through the mouth are often labeled as tastes, write Dana Small, PhD, MSc, and colleagues in the journal Neuron. “For example, we may say that we like the ‘taste’ of a wine because of its fruity or spicy notes, ” they write.

Detailed explanation-5: -Add small amounts of strong cheese, bacon or toasted nuts to dishes. Use aromatic herbs, seasonings and spices (not salt) to boost flavor. Serve foods that have different textures and colors. More items •09-Mar-2022
