Disscussion:

Is there a diffrance between blocked and unblocked nose taste? Yes (To me no)

Why? Taste is only limited to the five senses sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umamai(idk what this is). All other types of flavours that we are able to experience comes from smell. When our noses are blocked most foods would taste bland or tasteless. The sense of smell rasies your abillity of taste. Smell helps with taste and taste helps with smell.
