    Hard boiled eggs and Stilton cheese. The latter smells like dirty socks.

    Papaya
    Jackfruit
    Fish sauce
    Brussels sprouts
    Many hard cheeses

    I can't weigh in on Durian -- it smells so strongly of sewage, I haven't been able to get close enough to eat it.

    Quinoa. It smells like cut grass, but I like the taste.

    The smell of cooked broccoli gets complaints in my house, but everyone likes to eat it.

    So many I see others have named...pickles, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kimchi, fish sauce, boiled eggs, feta, etc.

    Garlic in general.

    Subway (the restaurant) smells exactly like vomit to me when I walk in...I think it's some of the bread they have baked, and I always get the flatbread, so I'm not sure if this one counts. I like a nice steak & egg breakfast sub there now and then...the smell is just gross to me. Once I was in the post office immediately after lunch at Subway and I thought someone in the line had puked on themselves and it turned out it was MY JACKET :cold_sweat:

    Ground meat, raw or prepared... And onion powder. The smell of these actually makes me gag.

    Asafetida/asafoetida, which is a flavoring. I've bought it, but never could bring myself to put it in food I was cooking. Raw, it smells like rotting dead animal flesh. Strongly, even in small amounts, at quite a distance. Awful.

    But I've had food cooked with it, and it was delicious.

    Durian.

    Durian all the way baby. I ordered a durian shake on the second date with my now husband. He thought I was kiddding and the restaurant was in on the joke. No way I'd make a joke by ordering that bad boy. He declined to taste it. His loss. Love me some Durian.
