He does in some episodes. In Bender gets made he loves the food at Elzars. Although he could just be pretending to enjoy the food to fit in. Or if he does have a sense of taste he loses it in some episodes due to the fact that he's constantly erasing his memory and reseting his modes etc. See, there's an explanation for everything.

Keep in mind that line was just from a dream anyway.

In "The 30% Iron Chef" Benders lack of taste is an important part of the plot. Well, okay, maybe not, but it is the reason why Helmut Spargle agrees to teach him.
The pie he eats in that episode also goes through without getting harmed.
In "A Fishfull Of Dollars" he has to observe how the other react to the anchovi-pizza before he decides to spit it out.
I guess Bender just wants to fit in, and have a systemt hat allows him to analyze the foodcomponents. When he compares it with a (very limited) databank he can tell what taste humans will experience. Since it's not an essential thing for robots the databank only covers very basic stuff, such as sterno-something, icecream, coffee, etc., not extinct animals and complex gourmet cooking.

On the audio commentary for A Fishful Of Dollars, they say that at the time, they were unsure whether or not Bender would be able to taste anything, but they made their mind up in the next episode that he wouldn't - apparentally he only spat out the pizza to fit in.

At Elzar's, Bender is eating flaming liquor I think. Though that would destroy all the ethanol...

Maybe "the way he likes them" implies that the waffles are made as pobot food or something.

Originally posted by Futurama_Hil: Also, even though I don't think this is what he meant, he could be saying "Bender waffles" meaning his own type of certain waffles. Meaning Bender won't have anyone to try his Bender waffles that like them like Fry does, if that makes any sense. I think that this is the best explanation or close to what I think it as anyhoo. It seems to me that Bender was implying that Fry makes 'bender waffles' just the way he likes them, because bender makes them soo poorly. It would make sence (30% iron chef), although Bender does make a fabulous cake in "I Second That Emotion" Either that, or it really was the Wizards fault...

Originally posted by aussie dude: yeah but in the episode A Flight To Remember fry says 'thats the last time i ever go to a planet called Canibalon' and bender says "me too great food though' so how could that be he wasnt trying to fit in there was he?? Well Bender's always going on about "Kill all humans" so it seems sorta reasonable to me that he would be in favour of eating them. Anyone?

^ That has nothing to do with anything.
Try this one: "Who will make 'Bender waffles' just the way he likes them now?" Meaning Bender made the recipe and Fry cooks them just the way he (Fry) likes them. Bender would be upset, since no one else would eat the "Bender waffles".
And as for the "can he taste" question, see canned eggs explanation.

From "A head in the polls":
Bender bemoans the loss of his body: Bender: How could I let this happen? I can't go through the rest of my life like this. Farnsworth: Don't you have a self-destruct button? Bender: Yea, but it's on my body!
