Since your tongue only tastes things like sweet, sour, spicy, it’s up to the smell to give you a specific taste.

Most of taste is actually your smell, if you cant smell something you cant taste it properly. If you hold your nose and eat a pear, you can barely taste it, but as soon as you let go of your nose you can smell it and taste it
