Swiss cheese.

Swiss cheese? Thats a broad category..

Do you mean Gruyere, Ementhaler...there are several. Or do you mean the American-style interpretation of "Swiss" cheese? that stuff is crud.

but Gruyere....emmmm. definitely pungent, but oh so tasty

Oh god I love Gruyere, one of my favourite hard/semi-hard cheeses.

Have you had all of Korean food to make that distinction?

Korean food smells really strong (I wouldn't call it bad though) but it is delicious.

kimchi

It's whatever they give me at Red Squirrel when I ask for swiss and turkey.

Blue Cheese. However that smells good to me now that I know what it tastes like

 

[Gunslinger08]

Dog poop tastes just like it smells. Delicious.

Actually I think durian tastes just as bad, if not worse, than it smells.

I only like coconut once it's sweetened and put into things. I don't get how people can just eat it from the shell. Bleh.

I love the smell though

 

[Captante]

Kinda weird, but I don't like the way movie-popcorn butter smells at all ... love the way it tastes though.

I love fresh coconuts. But I am from the subtropics so...

becel <> butter

I can think of the reverse. I gave a dog some kind of dog treat which smelled really good, so I decided to have a small taste. It was god awful.

Yeah, I actually really like the smell of cat food (dry kind) but it tastes like crunky cardboard or something.

I wouldn't say that smell makes me hungry though, I just like the way it smells.

Isn't your perception of taste largely associated with smell?

I thought so too. I can't think of any food I enjoy that smells bad. Though I also think swiss cheese smells fine.

Same, not many food items smell bad to me. If it does smell bad, I will chunk it.

Well, swiss cheese has always smelled gross to me. As such, I never ate it until recently. Swiss on a sandwich really adds some flavor. But I think you'd have to threaten to chop off my balls before I ate plain swiss by itself.

I can agree there. Swiss by itself doesn't taste good, it needs to be on something. I still think it smells fine, but that's subjective.

Disagree. I like eating Swiss by itself.

And some examples would be? I can understand condiment dishes and kimchee having a bad smell, but most of the other stuff smells good especially kalbee / bulgogi.
