What is flavor exactly and how do you taste?

Flavor is a “taste;” it is a substance that gives a particular sensory perception to your mouth. Your mouth, which contains thousands of taste buds will sense the particular flavor of which you are eating, the taste buds will then send out the signal and you will “taste” what you taste. Your nose often works in conjunction with your sense of taste…next time you have a cold or are sick you will notice that food and flavors do not taste the same as when you are feeling well.
