If you lose your sense of smell your sense of taste generally goes with it, since the two senses are closely linked.

Why cant you taste when i hold my nose?

When you hold your nose, you are blocking the passage of air to your nasal cavity. Since a significant portion of taste actually comes from your sense of smell, holding your nose can diminish your ability to perceive flavors properly by inhibiting this connection between taste and smell. As a result, foods may taste bland or unrecognizable when you hold your nose.

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.


Does smell afect taste?

Yes. Smell accounts for most of our taste. Have you ever eaten while you had a stuffy nose? It is really hard to taste anything because you can't smell. They are very closely related.


Can you taste more when you breathe in while eating?

If you are breath through your nose, then probably yes. Taste is related to smell and smelling is through your nose, obviously. This is why when you smell food, is also probably tastes that way.
