LOL! It's literally one of my favorites foods of all time. But I totally understand the reactions of people who haven't been raised on similar foods. It certainly can seem alien. The first time I tasted cheese, I almost vomited. So I know people's reactions to unaccustomed foods is about formative experiences combined with inherent personal temperament.

I love cheese now--even and especially the super stinky kinds! But I didn't stop hating it until well into my teen years. Getting over stuff like that takes practice and is not everyone's priority, nor does it need to it be.
