    Parmesan, fish sauce, and sundried tomato flavoured things (doesn't taste THAT great but still better than it smells)

    Durian fruit, surströmming if you eat it the right way is ok.

    Sometimes venison doesn't smell so great during the cooking process, but it tastes delicious in the end.

    parmesan for sure. with closed eyes, people tend to say: "this smells just like somebody throwed up!"

    turnip greens, northern beans, turnips, and cabbage all smell awful when on the stove-top but man oh man are they good!

    Scampi. Really the smell. Raw is worst, but even cooked. They still taste great.

    I agree with eggs, especially hard-boiled. Any cooked greens have a sulfur-like smell while they are simmering/braising/boiling.

    Few foods smell bad to me but I will not eat those that do.

    The only things that I can think of right now are liver (in its raw form, no problem if its processed into foie gras, pate or liverswurst), durian and incompletely cleaned tripe or intestines (if it smells poopy, I won't eat it, but otherwise it's not a problem).
