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 can't a person smell or taste after a brain injury and if they do they just smell and taste smoke or have a taste like metal?
Loss of smell and taste after a brain injury can occur due to damage to the olfactory nerves or brain regions responsible for processing sensory information. When a person experiences phantom smells of smoke or tastes of metal, it may be due to misfiring neurons in the brain sending incorrect signals. This can lead to distortions in how the brain interprets sensory information, creating the perception of certain smells or tastes.

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.

In this case the person may also present with poor wound healing.
