Yes.

This is why in that 'which sense would you give up' thread, I kept wondering why on earth anyone would give up smell, when it makes them lose their sense of taste as well.
It would negate some aspect of taste but not all of it. I do know what you're referring to (it's why we hold our breath to eat something yucky).

The topic question is not sensibly asked. Onions have a combination taste. You're also forgetting Umami.
