not directly in any way, but what your brain takes as taste is in fact a combination of taste and smell. You can't really say that your brain just smelt something or just tasted something. So in effect, a fair bit. A friend of mine recently lost his sense of smell,from a head injury(assaulted at a nightclub)and it is total and permanent.His taste buds still work, but he says that eating is nowhere near as enjoyable as it was,and that fruit is now unpleasant.Taste and smell are part of the same system, the olfactory.

Much of what you perceive as taste is actually smell, so when you have a stuffed up nose and can't smell anything you only "taste" what your taste buds are sensing. In that state you're actually getting a pretty good indication of the sensations you receive from just your taste buds without the help of your sense of smell. I've actually heard it from people who have lost their sense of smell that they would rather have lost their sense of taste.

Smell and taste are linked through the vomeronasal organ. No sense of smell would mean no taste because 'taste' is smell plus the ability to detect sweet, sour and salty on various parts of the tongue. Sight is more of a trigger for appetite and does not directly affect the ability to taste although some say that 'blind tasting' trains the senses to appreciate flavours. but smell isn't everything! there are millions of taste buds on your tongue that allow you to sence the texture and TASTE of the food.
