Never tried stinky tofu, but really want to.

Durian is awesome as well, if you pick the right one. The aroma is unbelievable. But eat enough of it and it just makes me wanna puke.

probably stinky tofu. but i think PAPAYA takes the cake. That thing reeks of vomit. I can't go near that thing. How can anyone like it? It's the king of smelly foods.

What kind of papaya are you eating? :Q

I can't stand the smell of durian, but stinky tofu is good!

To me, most ripe papaya, passion fruit, durian, and some jack fruit & guava fragrant can be offensive.

<-- Asian and can't stand smelly tofu & durian.

stinky tofu is awesome. it's completely counter-intuitive how something with such an offensive smell can taste so good. I didn't understand either until I tried it.

Durian I've never tried

I love stinking Tofu. They don't taste as good as they used to (all food quality suffer when the older generation move on). I an cursed with an acute memory of taste and smell. Should have become a chef :)

And the spicy pickled korean cabbage that comes with it is excellent. I asked for more every time :)

Agreed, and they smell nasty! They taste alright, but I still won't eat it unless I am being polite. Not like I will order it on a menu by choice.
