To elaborate on what Sydney and Abby have already alluded to: Most things that we call "tastes" are in fact Smells. The only things our tongues are actually able to taste are Sweetness, Saltyness, Bitterness, and Sourness (that right, Abby?). All other tastes are detected by the nose. Therefore, if you lost your sense of smell, those four tastes would be all you could taste...
