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 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.
Does your nose help you taste?

Taste buds are not in the nose. Taste buds are located on the tongue and other parts of the mouth, where they help to detect different flavors. The sense of smell, which occurs in the nose, also plays a role in how we perceive taste by contributing to our overall sensory experience of food.
What happens when you hold your nose and eat something?
When you hold your nose while eating, you may not be able to taste the food as well because about 80% of what you perceive as taste is actually due to your sense of smell.

So, the food may taste bland or different than usual.

Even with the eyes closed and nose plugged, you should be able to tell the basics of most foods, that is, whether each is sweet, salty, sour, etc. The taste buds give sense of taste, not the nose or eyes. So, yes, you should be able to distinguish and name most foods by taste, texture, thickness vs. thinness, etc.

How smell and taste related?
How are smell and taste related? The answer is simple: When we taste, we use our sense of smell. Have you ever noticed why when you have a cold, or you've plugged your nose, you can't taste the food in your mouth? This is because we assume automatically that what we are smelling is going to taste that way. So it does. Most of the time. When you taste, you are using your sense of smell to kind of tell you what it is that your eating. If you were to close your eyes and hold your nose and then taste apples and a potato, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. At all. Except maybe the texture. ~Thanks, WorldBook 2001 Edition.
Why can't you taste with your nose pinched?

Plug your nose tightly (eyes still closed) unwrap one in pop it in your mouth. Keep it in there, nose still plugged. Make a prediction of what flavor it is. Take the candy out and open your eyes, I guarantee you'll be surprised
