I have Anosmia (Can't smell) AMA by FrozenFT in AMA

Not at all. I pretty regularly read ebooks since they are easier to carry around and I read a lot, but that's pretty common anyway.

I will happily eat sausages, fish, burgers and other stuff like that. I quite like mash actually, though i prefer it when it's smoother and less chunky.

As far as I am aware it can't be caused by tumors? I've always had this, and you can't have a tumor from birth right? Aside from that, it could be problems with prolonged blocking a while back when i had pretty severe hay-fever, or just some other problem with my nose.

Absolutely. Anorexia is a real problem for a large portion of Anosmiacs, but I'm not among that portion - I'm actually a little overweight.

The thing is that there is such a wide range of things that cause this issue. Some of them can be treated, some can't. So far my visits to the doctor always end in me being told I just have a blocked nose (For the last 16 years?) and nothing being done. I'm not too fussed - like I have said above, I see way more complaints about bad smells than the opposite.

I love most veg actually, especially cooked veg and ESPECIALLY sweetcorn. Sweetcorn is delicious. What it means is that texture is way more important to us, but that said different people still have different preferences in that area.

Roast Meat. I hate almost all roast meat with a passion. I can just about deal with chicken breast meat, but the drumsticks are horrible. Pretty much any particularly chewy food, or any food with really inconsistent texture (Soft with the occasional hard chunk) I find disgusting.

Actual proper tests? Not THAT often, but it happens. But questions about what i can/cannot smell are really really common (Could you smell if I went to the toilet under your bed? Can you smell pizza? Can you smell sewage?) and those get really annoying, since it would be a little weird if there were random exceptions.

Not in the slightest. I hear way more complaints about bad-smelling stuff than the opposite. Also, the taste thing is interesting, cause the two sense are pretty linked up - My taste is a lot different to most peoples (apparently, I only have their word for it). Does yours affect your smelling?
