Cold food has a different flavor because of the reaction of the food on the tongue. If the food is heated, the reactions create a more tender food along with a smell. If the food smells nice, it will enhance the flavor automatically.

When you are sick with something like the flu, it can make it difficult to smell things. Swollen sinuses or a blocked nose can be the cause of this for you. When you taste something, more than half of the flavor comes from the smell of it. For example, eating a potato, apple, and onion with your nose pinched, will all taste the same.
