People look at food and have an idea of how it might taste. They know certain flavor should taste a ceratin way, and certain textures should feel a certain way. Also, some things look more appealing. If something looks gross, the brain is already apt to think that it also tastes bad, too.

The visual system in humans allows individuals to assimilate information from the environment. As such, we can associate images with another sense: taste (i.e. strawberry fruit with a red color and a sweet taste), then vision is in connection/perception with all senses. If you cannot see you can have the taste of what you eat or smell, you can associate with the image that you have in your brain (only if you have the perception/image registered in past). So the answer is no, but vision is a complement of taste. Taste and appreciation of foods is influenced by the sense of smell and the temperature and texture of foods.
