Since an anosmic cannot smell food, their ability to taste is impaired. A person with a fully functioning sense of smell uses it to identify food and sense flavor. However, since 40% of taste consists of information that is relayed from only the taste buds, an anosmic is technically able to taste. It is just impaired.

Why does a person loose their sense of smell and taste?
Lacking a sense of smell is called anosmia. A serious head injury can cause anosmia. Most likely this results in damage to the olfactory nerves as they enter the olfactory bulb. The axons enter the brain via holes in the cribiform plateso a sudden blow can sever the axons. Most of what people perceive as taste is actually smell, which is why food tastes bland when you have a head cold.Anosmia and ageusia (lack of taste) can be due to zinc deficiency. In this case the person may also present with poor wound healing.
