the same always happen to me, after several times eating durian, everytime some durian smell get caught into my nose, i will immediately search where the smell comes from lol

The smell is quite strong that durians are banned in hotels.

The people at AEON's hypermarkets however, have a simple way of getting the thing past hotel staff.

Dude, durian? durian is awesome, its taste great, I dunno about marmite, but i guessing that marmite is the kind of food with extreme taste which not many people could handle it.

A number of illustrations drawn by a local artist of ours, named 'Lat' has pointed out a joke that foreigners (Westerners) who visited Malaysia can't handle the smell of durians...

By the way how does the Brennivin help?
Bovril seems okay for people who are used to Marmite.

It's tradition to take a shot of Brennivin after eating the Hakarl, it doesn't really help per se but because it is STUPIDLY strong maybe the kick and burn will wipe out your taste buds?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1karl aka Icelandic Pee Shark is apparantly quite a delicacy, as long as you have a bottle of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenniv%C3%ADn to hand...

From the UK there is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril which is sorta like marmite but made with beef, and is AMAZING when you dissolve it in hot water to make a sort of beef soup.

Kæstur hákarl has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste.

Chef Gordon Ramsay challenged James May to sample three "delicacies" (Laotian snake whiskey, bull penis, and kæstur hákarl) on The F Word; after eating kæstur hákarl, Ramsay spat it out-

Also, should we take this opportunity to list out some "love it or hate it" food worldwide? For example, natto from Japan, Marmite from the UK, durian from Southeast Asia...

Being of NZ extraction, our Marmite is different from the UK's (you can get the UK version though) and we have the similarly-flavoured Vegemite. One's sweeter, the other saltier - both look like engine grease and taste delicious on toast with lashings of fresh butter.

Also, if you have a chance, try using Marmite for a pasta sauce, like pesto. It works surprisingly well!

(And curiously, I find that Soy+Butter has a very Marmite-like taste)

If you think soy + butter is very Marmite like in flavor, you've seriously overdone the soy by about a fifth of the bottle. I did the one time with TKG - never again.

I'll guess that if you lke Vegemite, you can handle the sweeter Marmite just fine.

After trying marmite for the first time, I have to say, I neither hate it or love it, it's just fine.

I personally have a love-hate relationship with durian. I can't stand the pungent smell of durian but it tastes great in my opinion. The sweet taste and creamy texture makes it very savory.

it's actually quite good though, indeed the smell are quite strong, but once you get used to it you will always love durian

in my country many ppl love eating durian as is, but i myself dont like to eat it directly because i cant handle the texture and gas like smell. some durian ice cream taste great though

and this is the first time i know about marmite lol. can marmite be used as yeast on making bread? edit : just read the wiki on marmite lol the yeasts already die in the process

Akagi is a bit different case about taste. she got a universal taste on food lol

This reminds me of my wife getting some of my friends to try mochi for the first time. I had a feeling they weren't going to like it, and the expression on their faces clearly said so, but she insisted that there was plenty more for anyone who wanted it.

Mochi's not that odd at all. My mother didn't like it, but my father actually loved it. He's not so in to sweet things, so tasting a bit like a less-sweet marshmallow was perfectly fine by him. I get him some taro mochi every now and again...

Lutefisk... When you use lye to cook cod the result can't be good (even if I heard than in Scandinavian countries is quite a delicacy)

Actually, it's not a delicacy. Scandanavian countries historically didn't have access to much salt for preserving their fish, so lutefisk was preserved (not cooked) with lye simply because it's better than letting fish rot. Depending on the fish, it's actually a sort of flavorless jelly that's dunked in sauce to make flavorful that was eaten as a staple when there was nothing else to eat.

It's ironically eaten as a "delicacy" only in the United States by people of Scandinavian descent who want some connection to their heritage, and more lutefisk is eaten in the USA than Scandinavia nowadays.

Lutefisk, for that matter, just has a weird texture. If you REALLY want a strange cultural acquired taste, try Surströmming; It's "sour herring" made by preserving a herring with juuuust barely enough salt to prevent the fish from going completely rotten, but "fermented" (read: partially rotten) enough to smell like the dumpster behind the fish market.

From America, you might also want to throw Moxie into the mix. It's like drinking carbonated bitter soy sauce that hates you and has a guy that looks like a psychopath pointing you out as his next victim on the label.
