I don't know about delicacy, LOL. I can't stand it and tons of places serve it as a tradition. But it is Scandinavian fish that is finished dried/salted, cured in lye. It has a texture kind of like Jell-O. When they are preparing it, you can smell it from a good distance. It smells horrid and the taste is not much better. if you want to learn more; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LutefiskI'd try it. I like pickled herring and canned sardines once in a while, so I'd give it a try. |

Here’s a Today Show story from at least 30 years ago that shows how passionate these people are about lutefisk. |

churches usually make lutefisk dinners and when they are cooking... Areas around those churches absolutely stink!

I have been vegetarian for several years now, but when I was still eating meat, I would absolutely abhor all kinds of offal. My mom and grandmother were big fans of fried liver or kidney (horrible smell) or tripe stew, so they made that quite often. Other than that, I eat more or less everything, but my big trauma (again as a kid) was semolina porridge, even as a baby I would refuse to eat that. I generally don't care too much for anything too sweet, cakes, chocolate, pudding, and as a child, given the choice, I would much rather snack on capers or olives than on sweets.

Mushrooms, most kinds of fish/seafood, brussel sprouts, licorice, anything super spicy, avocado, egg white, honey.
There are probably more but these are what I can think of right now

As a lover of cilantro, I have sympathy for anyone with the soap gene who will miss out on its awesomeness.
I used to be really picky and I've gotten much better, but I still won't eat turkey. I don't like watermelons but watermelon-flavored snacks are fine. The opposite is true for grapes - I like the fruit, but grape-flavored anything is yucky.
I've never been around lutefisk but I'm Jewish and we have gefiltefish - it looks and smells nasty and I've never eaten it!
As for the durian, the smell is so powerful that many Asian hotels actually ban them from their properties. I've seen (and smelled it, but in no rush to try it.

I think every culture has at least one food that seems gross to anyone else. You have to be brought up eating it to love it. Add to the list of things people already mentioned like durian, also stinky tofu, natto, pickled herring, stinky cheese, etc. Durian smells like rotting oranges doused in gasoline. I haven't been brave enough to try it, partly because the taste lingers for days. Jackfruit is also really stinky, although not quite as strong.
I'm one of those people who thought cilantro tastes gross but over time I learned to love it. I think the gene thing is overblown. Same with broccoli, some people taste the bitterness more intensely, but that doesn't mean you'll always hate it. Tastes change over time.
I hate things with a slimy texture, like bananas and okra. I don't like meat and would probably go full vegetarian but I live with a bunch of carnivores. My number one most hated food is tuna fish. I really don't get how people can eat it.
