Chemicals waft through the air from the food into the nose and sinuses. They "fire" neurons in the sinus cavity which send smell messages to the brain.
Meanwhile or shortly thereafter, we eat a mouthful of food and as the food touches the tastebuds, they fire off neuron electricity which also is routed to the brain.
the smell data from the sinuses and the tastebud data are compared for similar experiences and the result is a summary of TASTE as of that moment.

We have at least five different taste sensations: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami . In the mouth, these tastes, along with texture, temperature, and the sensations from the common chemical sense, combine with odors to produce a perception of flavor. Flavors are recognized mainly through the sense of smell.

The tounge has many small taste buds. These taste buds have many nerves which are able to detect the taste and send signals to your brain. The tounge are divided into 4 regions. The front part of the tongue is able to detect sweet taste, the sides of the tongue detects sour taste whereas the back of the tongue is able to detect bitter taste.

You have tastebuds
Tastebuds work by producing an electrical signal to the brain that is unique for different types of inputs (food) that react or come in contact with the tastebuds.
These electrical signals are then dycrypted in your brain as 'taste'.
