A large part of what is perceived as the taste of foods is really due to the sense of smell. Often a cold plugs up the nose, so you lose your sense of smell and thus that part of the taste of foods.

No, actually it doesn't -- the reverse is true. For whatever reason, salt and other seasonings are less pronounced in cold food.
