My head was so (congested or customary) when I had a cold that I felt as if it was filled with sand?
congested.
Why do you have a hard time tasting things when you have a cold?
Taste is related to smell. When your nose is congested, you can't taste things aswell. For example plug your nose when your feeling better, and try to taste something. You can't taste it aswell.

How can a head cold interfere with taste?
The same way holding your nose does! Your nose, smelling certain scents, triggers the brain to tell you what the food is supposed to taste like. If it doesn't know what it is then the taste of that object will be stronger at first because the mind is registering that taste for future use.
Why you can't taste food when you have a bad cold?
Because the sensation of taste is closely tied to your sense of smell. The combination of your taste buds and the smell of food is what makes your brain recognize a taste. When you have a cold, your nose gets clogged and you can't smell as well as you normally can, so in your head, foods don't taste the same because you're not getting the normal amount of "taste information" from your nose" This is also why people hold their nose when eating something they don't like and why inhaling when you're eating spicy food makes them seem spicier.
