Why is food less palatable when you have a cold?
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. Another (less likely) reason could be that you have a layer of mucus built up on your tongue with the cold, use your toothbrush to brush off your tongue when you brush your teeth to see if that will help.
