Hello, Tina! How are you?

Not usually, because these tubes generally bypass the taste buds and sinuses, which are our most prominent features for tasting things.

I'd imagine there may be some taste, if the person develops gas and belches a lot, or in the case of acid reflux, which may result in their tasting some bile.

Is someone having a problem with such?
