The short answer is yes.
It is dependent upon the person and what you eat. Also it is not the taste of the genitals, but what comes out that is affected. My experience has shown that by eating asparagus or pineapple has an effect on the taste.
There may be other foods that affect the taste.

Does sense of smell and sight affect food taste?
Most of the time, what we call taste is intrinsicially tied to smell. Traditionally taste has only 4 measurable concepts: salty, sweet, sour, bitter. Some cultures regard savoriness and piquance as major taste experiences, and taste buds can also detect fatty acids as a distinct flavor.Taste also determines texture and temperature.Smell is capable of a much wider variance because it detects actual chemical molecules released into the air, and further refines them (as does taste) by their intensity (or molecular concentration).Smell and TasteThe ability to distinguish various foods relies predominantly on the sense of smell. This explains why foods seem to have little taste for a person who is suffering from a head cold. The taste and smell of appetizing foods prepare the digestive tract for digestion by stimulating the flow of saliva in the mouth and gastric juice in the stomach. Our chemorecptors used for both taste and smell adapt quickly to any stimulus. One reason Americans may be becoming more obese as a population is that we serve too much food in one course. It is usually the case that we actually stop tasting our food after the 3rd or 4th bite, but we don't realize it because we are still smelling it. The nasal cavity and oral cavity are closely connected, separated only by the palate. So it makes sense that the two senses go hand in hand.An ExperimentI recently did a science experiment for the school science fair. My results said that what you smell does affect what you taste. I had people eat starburst candy while smelling vanilla extract. The majority of the people said that the smell of the vanilla made the starburst taste odd. Others couldn't even taste while they were smelling the vanilla.

Smell and taste are linked through the vomeronasal organ.

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. For more information go to the science buddies website (see related link).
What is the interaction between taste and smell?
How are smell and taste related? The answer is simple: When we taste, we use our sense of smell. Have you ever noticed why when you have a cold, or you've plugged your nose, you can't taste the food in your mouth? This is because we assume automatically that what we are smelling is going to taste that way. So it does. Most of the time. When you taste, you are using your sense of smell to kind of tell you what it is that your eating. If you were to close your eyes and hold your nose and then taste apples and a potato, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. At all. Except maybe the texture. ~Thanks, WorldBook 2001 Edition.
