Does sense of smell and sight affect food taste?
What you see and smell on the plate definitely affects the way the food tastes. If you smell something raunchy, 7 out of 10 times it’ll taste just as it smells. However, if you hold your nose while taking a bite, it won’t taste as bad…almost bland, actually. As for the sight, not so much. You can’t smell through your eyes. However, if something looks unappetizing you expect it taste bad…so when you taste it, it more likely will taste bad, because it’s already in your head how it’ll taste.
