Smell is OK....it's my ability to taste what I am eating...what I can taste is the awful taste if that makes sense. Spicy food seems OK, but then I have celiac disease and have to watch what I eat, also I have type 2 diebetis.....that might have a bearing, but it's easy to blame other things when the simple answer is what other people have. Long Covid
Even a simple salad is inedible as are French fries , pasties pies etc
Tonight we will eat chicken with black pepper. Hopefully my wife will make it extra spicy and then I can eat it
