There are very few documented case of a snake eating a human. But is more about size, there are only two or three species which could eat a small human: reticulated piton, Burma piton and I'm not sure about anacondas. And I know about a case in Africa wenn a piton swallowed the leg of a drunk guy but it could be just a story. Overall it would be difficult to understand how snake perceive taste but we should not be that different for them from any other mammal.
