  If you cant smell your food, it is difficult to
  recognize the taste. You may have noticed this
  when youve had a bad cold with a stuffed up nose.

• Tasting is the work of your tongue. All over your
  tongue are tiny taste sensors called buds. If you
  look at your tongue in a mirror, you can see the
  small groups of taste buds. They are what give
  your tongue its rough appearance. Each taste bud
  has a small opening in it. Tiny pieces of food
  and drink enter this opening. There are taste
  sensors gather information about the taste and
  send messages to your brain. Your brain decides
  what the taste is.
