Because while most of us think that foods are only tasted through our taste-buds, the nose is where most foods get their taste. For example, when you have a cold, your nose is congested and you cannot breathe through it, so food does not have as much flavor. So when we say "that tastes like" whatever, we may not have tasted it but we have smelled it.
