He should still be able to taste - he just wouldn't have any idea what he was missing. Were we to experience his limited ability to taste, we would probably find it awful, but since he has no comparison, the term "delicious" to him would be just as wonderful as it is to us, because he can only compare it to his own limited ability to taste and not to ours.

A shame really, but certainly nothing that would truly hinder his general enjoyment of life. Especially since he was born with this particular curiosity.
