Summary
Cove 76185, posting in a long-COVID forum, described losing most of their sense of taste for years after catching COVID at least five times. They could only taste food pressed against the roof of their mouth, even strongly spiced or sour foods. Their sense of smell had also gone but came back, and recently a little taste returned at the sides of their tongue.
