No wecannot taste through dry tongue. In order to taste food chemicals from the food must be dissolved in saliva. Once the chemicals are dissolved in the saliva, they can be easily detected by receptors present on our taste buds. Therefore, if there is no saliva present on our toungue, we would not be able to taste anything.
