smell signals from the nose is taken to the brain. The flavor is then perceived by the brain and taste signal is sent to taste buds that are present on the tongue
If we dont breathe, and try eating it is not possible for us to get the taste and no signal would be send to the brain.

Why can't i taste anything when i have a cold is it bad?
During a cold, a congested nose is one of the symptoms, which restricts air flow through your nasal canal (nose). Taste is a combination of your tongue and nose breathing in air in order to product a taste. Without breathing through your nose, taste is not possible. This is the same premise in which plugging your nose while eating something distasteful lowers the severity of it.

How does holding your nose affect your taste?
Much of what you perceive as taste is actually smell, so when you have a stuffed up nose and can't smell anything you only "taste" what your taste buds are sensing. In that state you're actually getting a pretty good indication of the sensations you receive from just your taste buds without the help of your sense of smell. I've actually heard it from people who have lost their sense of smell that they would rather have lost their sense of taste.

Why you can't taste food when you have a bad cold?
Because the sensation of taste is closely tied to your sense of smell. The combination of your taste buds and the smell of food is what makes your brain recognize a taste. When you have a cold, your nose gets clogged and you can't smell as well as you normally can, so in your head, foods don't taste the same because you're not getting the normal amount of "taste information" from your nose" This is also why people hold their nose when eating something they don't like and why inhaling when you're eating spicy food makes them seem spicier.
