Stupid question #3587

(And don't say when you can't breathe anymore )

Actually, that is the answer. When breathing becomes difficult, the filters are pluged.

Sorry,

So do you still really enjoy a good meal and a glass of red for instance

Yep. Like I said, I can still detect some flavours. Funnily enough fruit is one of the things that I can still pick up. I can tell I'm eating a banana or a melon for instance and not just by texture.

However as much as I like a red, I'm never going to have a career as a somelliere (sp) .

I can't pick up the flavours in wine really, although I know some people with their sense of smell that can't do that either.

It is a bit of a drag though I must admit. Especially as having smelt in the past I know what I'm missing out on.

C'est la vie I guess.

Cheers
Craig

PS Thank God for chilli!

Hi Craig,

Mate that has to be a bugger!

I really like food (and wine!), and the smells are an almost equal part to the tastes and textures. Losing one's sense of smell must be a complete bugger.

Cheers!

Yeah it's a bit of a PITA Thanks for the understanding though.
