    I had durian once and liked it. Didn't taste bad at all. A friend of mine had two balut one night and said they are really good. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's kind of sick to eat an unborn chicken with feathers and all.

    I haven't seen balut, probably would try it.

    The oddest smell that turned out pleasant was papaya. I thought it smelled like vomit the first time I saw it as a kid.

    Are those like the ones trader Joes has (crunchy paper thin crispy seaweed)? I haven't had them recently but I don't remember the smell.

    Pork rinds are pretty low carb and taste good to me, but they smell like a musty dog! LOL

    Durian does smell, but probably not quite as bad as I had imagined after hearing about it.
    I ate it but didn't love it, wouldn't bother having it again. I agree that papaya smells like vomit, and it has enough f that in the taste that I don't eat it.
    Pork and lamb smell disgusting when they are cooking, I can get over the smell when it's cooked for pork but not lamb. Which is weird because I think cooking pork smells like the pigyard of my childhood.

    Balut was the worst for me.

    I had to Google this, but I now know that I wouldn't go near balut. *retch*

    I love asparagus but it smells like weeeee. Don't care. Still delicious.

    I tried Hogs Head cheese once (under protest). It smelled pretty bad and tasted just as bad to me.

    there's a song about that stuff. well, it starts out being about cat food sandwiches and then ranges further afield.
