Thanks for the link, Lone. Says it has a taste similar to vanilla pudding. If it's so good, yet smells so bad, I'd think some enterprising group would preserve the fruit part in jars for selling and pitch out the smelly part.

There are some things I like that others in my family won't eat.
Snails in garlic butter are delicious. I can't get anyone else to try them. More for me.
I like really fiery foods. Mexican food (in Mexico) is often hot enough to make you sweat. We have a lot of Mexican restaurants here in Texas but their foods are mild to suit American tastes. I love really good Mexican food from interior Mexico, and I want it hot hot hot. I like heat too in Asian foods.
Baby octopus are great in pasta but impossible to find in most cities. When in the Basque region of France or Spain at the right time of year they have a great dish made with whole baby eels.
Stinky cheese like Limburger is also OK in my book but will cause others to run for cover.
On the other hand, there are some foods that I simply can't stand. Bananas are at the top of the list. Even the smell is repulsive. It can't be disguised. Even banana nut cake is repugnant.
The English paint remover known as Marmite isn't far behind. Fresh barnacles are also awful. I've never been able to develop a taste for Sherry wine. We stopped at a top bodega when driving through a Sherry wine region in Spain -- every sample they served us was horrid.
