Does not appeal to me.

I can taste things by smell, and I've heard that durian smells like garbage but tastes different, so I'm inclined to think it would taste like garbage for me.
But I love haggis. I have no idea why people find it so objectionable. To me it tasted like excellent sausage, and I love sausage. Last year my partner got me a haggis spice chocolate bar. I loved the flavor so much that I monkeyed around until I made a good haggis spice brownie recipe. \o/
In fact our family phrase for accepting differences of opinion is, "Another haggis shortage averted!"
