It seems to be a little different for each of us -- I pretty much lost all taste during nuking -- Post-nuke, the first taste back was salt and pretty soon everything was tasting too salty -- Now, one year out, I can taste many things but noticed that only lasts for a few bites, then (like a pervasive smell) my taste buds seem to filter it all out and things just taste bland -- I still don't taste sweet stuf well, and chocolate is waaay too dry to be tasty.
