It’s actually a great time to eat healthy since there’s no point in trying to eat tasty stuff
What are you guys eating that is healthy and gross?
It’s not that it’s gross, it just that it no longer needs to compete with less-healthy cravings like fast food, ice cream, etc.
The problem was when we lost our smell, coffee tasted worse (basically only the bitterness stayed, no aroma).
The same was true for sweet and salty foods. The salty taste still comes through, but no smell. So junk food was the only thing with any taste (since it mostly tastes like salt and sugar anyway).
TLDR: Acid, salt and sugar still came through, but umami, fruit and tasty veggie smells were all gone for our family.
Same. I basically ended up enjoying only chips drenched in sriracha.
