My dad lost his sense of smell during a surgery and he says he doesn’t miss it in the slightest. Makes no difference in how good food tastes or anything else he encounters in life. In the modern world, it really is a “nice to have” sense.
- GuB-42 3y agoI have always thought that food taste is much more smell than actual taste. Taste is rather limited in complexity with only 5 tastes, compared to hundreds of different smells. Or so I heard.
- fmntf 3y agoYou are right. Last year I've got a virus named covid (probably you have heard of it). For a few days I've lost the taste of food. I mostly stopped to eat in such days. Eating food that tasted of nothing was totally unpleasant!
