Well, if you were to plug your nose, and eat or drink something at the same time, you would not have your tongue taste that thing in your mouth like it usually does. That's because you are stopping a nerve that goes from your nose to your tongue, therefore blocking some taste.

I would say that yes, if you to smell a food before you taste it, and it smells bad to you, it might influence you taste buds/ tongue.
