How can bad food still taste bad when you cant taste?

Or vice versa. How can good food still taste good when you cant taste?

I pon­dered these ques­tions yes­ter­day when I grabbed a tub of what I thought was vanilla yogurt, but even­tu­ally, through the magic of my brain, I found out it was plain. Now, I didn’t find out through taste, because I was sick. I just some­how mag­i­cally knew! If some­one has the answer, leave a com­ment, because I’m quite con­fused as to how that plain yog­art “tasted” hor­ri­ble when I couldn’t taste it at all.

I also had one of these today from Don­air Town :

I couldn’t taste it, but it was just as amaz­ing and sat­is­fy­ing as ever.

    They’re called taste­buds. lol. Being sick just makes you not be able to smell, which is most of the plea­sure we get of food.
