To really appreciate something, a food or beverage, you need to have smell plus taste. When COVID took away people's sense of smell, it also very much affected their sense of taste. A fun way to test this is to take something that has a complex flavor, like a jelly bean, and plug your nose,. put it in your mouth and you will just taste something sweet.

Flavor is when you have taste plus smell because we can actually smell things while we're eating through our nose, through our mouth.
