Best Answer

Because odor determines flavor and when you have sinuses in your nose the flavor is distorted or misread and sometimes the food tastes bland or nasty.

Why cant you smell cold food from far while you can smell hot food from far?

It is possible to smell food when it is cold. However, it is much easier to smell food when it is hot. The heat gives off thermal energy, which makes it simpler to smell. Because hot food is much simpler to smell, hotter food often tastes better than colder food. If a food smells good to someone, then it often has a better taste, too. Edit: If the cold food has spice on it, then yes! Or if it has garlic in it!
