Nose feel might be the only “taste” you get whilst experiencing the classic COVID-19 absence of sense of smell. Then again, if fat blots it out instantly perhaps it is the sixth taste that we perceive as a feeling.
Haven’t got my head around this yet.

Did lose my sense of taste for months once through Bell’s Palsy, but never did any horseradish or wasabi tests then. Only thing I remember tasting delicious from that time was grapefruit.
