    Ooh, nice. It’s rare to see another SEA-an around this part.

    aligned with people who doesn’t grow up with it.

    Oh, yeah I agree. What I’m trying to say is that someone with an entirely different set of culture (foods) already has a predetermined set of palate of what kind of taste to expect, so even if they power through the initial smell they just more likely to dislike it cuz it resemble nothing they usually consume.

    Another example i can give is smelly tofu

    I would take a guess that we’re probably neighbours country. I haven’t taste smelly tofu in particular, but I can imagine the smell. The by-products of the normal one would make anyone gag, this one probably just straight up has the sewage aroma because of the aging and what not.

    petai/stink

    The bathroom situation is what makes me hate it. I wouldn’t refuse if offered but never choose it myself.

    So i feels like, unlike cilantro

    Funny, I can’t stand cilantro. I don’t think I even has the “soapy” taste gene. It just taste like random grass to me and everytime I accidentally taste it I thought “this ain’t human food” lol. The brain is fascinating, huh.
