A sufficiently advanced cyborg could taste as much or as little as he wanted. An artificial tongue would allow you to completely tune how you taste food. I mean, you could make broccoli taste like it's made of chocolate :D

Then again, as Armegdon pointed out, Viktor might not even need to eat. If he is able to obtain the needed energy and nutrients through other means, he could just simulate the feeling of eating through his brain-enhancements (the lore mentions he "integrated his mind with techmaturgical devices"). He could feel like his mouth is full of delicious donuts, even while he's fighting. Although that might be distracting...

Also, I think it would be depressing to think of pleasure as "sinful", no matter what one believes. Pleasure, the feeling of enjoyment, is one of the few things I would call inherently good. If a method you use to gain pleasure is really harmful to yourself or others, then it can be said to be "sinful", but that would be criticizing the method, not the pleasure itself.
